Taking over the old Chapeltown Market which hogs the corner of Market Street between the WMC and the railway line, the new development – featuring a large number of recycled shipping containers which will be spread over two levels in places – is planned to open for business in January 2021. Its vibe will be a little different from the rest of Chapeltown, and really is more that just a market…

 

Championing a sense of community, TRAXX is looking to bring together responsible retailers and flagship dining concepts in a recycled space. The street market’s shipping containers will be filled to the brim with artists, designers and retailers. Each container space will eventually be allocated to a business and there will also be opportunities to launch pop-up shops and new business ventures.

 

Alongside all of this, the new market will also feature a plethora of street food traders and we hope to explore other ideas such as community-led rooftop garden for people to enjoy.

 

Market will be open on Saturday 4th July with plenty of new stalls. Hoping that this is a success and will get more people visiting Chapeltown.

Visited today. Quite good. A few of the stalls I recognized from gift fairs at Elsecar Heritage Centre. It reminded me a little bit of the street market at Crookes, but on a smaller scale. 

 

A massive improvement from how Chapeltown Market was before.

Went to a similar set up in Newcastle last year, where they'd used repurposed shipping containers. Good concept. There's something similar here on Shalesmoor:

Not that you can get anywhere near it, thanks to SCC's brainless new cycle lane of course...
