New images provide a first look at how the inside of the refurbished Derby Market Hall will look once complete.
The historic venue is being given a new lease of life to transform this heritage asset into an attractive retail and leisure destination fit for the future. The new images give a glimpse of the retail space, make and trade units and new dining area.
In all, the transformed market will offer:
- A mix of traditional and themed stalls, including quality fresh produce
- Make and trade stalls and creative spaces
- A cosmopolitan food court and bars
- Events and pop-up activity
Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council, said: “The transformation of Derby Market Hall is a reflection of our collective ambition to create a city that everyone can take pride in, and while people can see the improvements we’ve made externally, many people may still be wondering what the building will look like inside.
“These new images will give the public the first idea of what the venue will look like as we make this irreplaceable heritage building fit for the future.
“This project is not just about transforming the Market Hall; it’s about bringing the people of Derby together to create a space we can all be proud of. We invite traders, entrepreneurs and businesses from across the region to join the vibrant community we are building.”
The £35.1m project is partly funded with £9.43m from the Governments Future High Streets Fund (FHSF). The second phase of the transformation is well underway, focusing on refurbishing the interior and developing the public space outside at Osnabruck Square.
Located at the heart of the city centre, linking Derbion and St Peter’s Quarter with the Cathedral Quarter and Becketwell, the new Market Hall will play a key role in widening the diversity of the city centre and generate £3.64m for the local economy every year.
Businesses throughout the region are invited to register their interest in operating from the refurbished Market Hall, which will bring together the best of the region’s independent shopping, eating, drinking and entertainment when it reopens in Spring 2025.
