Here you can find the latest information on the Leek indoor markets regeneration project
**The newly refurbished Butter and Trestle Market is now OPEN!*
Leek's rejuvenated indoor markets will re-open to traders, shoppers and visitors after a £3.4 million transformation on Wednesday 27 November.
This investment has future-proofed the buildings for this and future generations by delivering modern, flexible spaces for business and community use and improved customer comfort, safety and security and WIFI.
The work has been funded by the UK Government as part of a wider programme of regeneration in the town
Butter and Trestle Market
This project has seen the Victorian Butter and Trestle Market refurbished to broaden the appeal of the markets to a wider range of customers and traders and provide creative and artistic space for community use.
Works at the Trestle Market include:
- 3 new food and beverage lock-up units
- replacement of the trestle tables with lighter weight alternatives
- addition of a further entrance to allow the two market halls to operate independently and enabling weekend and evening events to be held in the Trestle Market.
At the Butter Market Hall, the Victorian character of the shop fronts has been restored to improve the customer experience and provide modern, flexible retail units.
Supporting the Councils net zero target, solar panels and air source heat pumps have been installed along with replacement of the Trestle Market roof to improve insulation.
Customer safety, comfort and security has been improved at both market halls with the installation of Wi-Fi, CCTV, insulation and heating
