Themed Fridays launch new era for Leek's indoor markets
Leek's rejuvenated indoor markets are set to re-open soon and new themed Friday markets will be part of the exciting new-look retail and events programme.
The Council has invested £3.4 million in the Butter and Trestle markets to provide modern, flexible spaces featuring new food and drink units as well as refreshed retail units, improved customer comfort, safety and security, and WIFI.
The investment will provide a creative and artistic space for community use, and a key part of that will be the new themed Friday markets:
- Fashion Friday on the first Friday of every month
- Foodie Friday features on the second Friday
- The focus will be on Makers and Artists on the third Friday
- Vintage Vendredi takes over on the fourth Friday
Applications are now open for traders who are interested in booking a stall - email the team at markets@staffsmoorlands.gov.uk for more information or visit Friday Trestle Market - Leek
Councillor Matt Swindlehurst, Cabinet member for Leisure and Tourism, said: "The market halls have been transformed to provide spaces and facilities that will attract a diverse range of traders and visitors and keep our markets at the heart of the community.
"The refreshed buildings will host a varied programme of markets and events and I'm delighted to announce these new themed markets every Friday in the Trestle Market."
