Glossop Market Hall

Glossop Market Hall has officially reopened its doors, and it’s a shining example of how to breathe life back into heritage marketplaces like this.

The market hall has undergone a major regeneration project to restore this landmark in the town, and is now home to a modern food hall as well as independent retail spaces.

It’s hoped that this impressive new space will once again act after the ‘heartbeat of the town’.

While the landmark building has a fresh design, the plan is to keep it proudly local, filled with local and regional traders from the beer taps to the burgers to the book vending machine (you heard – a book vending machine).

The regeneration of Glossop Market Hall has created more than 60 new jobs for the area and boasts an impressive array of food, drink, and retail across three different indoor zones and the outdoor market.

The bar inside has independent local breweries on tap, while gin comes from the Glossop Distillery (from the team behind Forest Gin).

As for the food offering, you’ll find wagyu burgers from Wagyu Lookin At?, double-dunked fried chicken from Pattersons, and hand-stretched pizzas from Pizza Dealers, as well as artisan gelato from Baci Di Gelato and Greek street food from Kefi Social.

Familiar names from Manchester have moved into Glossop Market Hall too – look out for Bold Street Coffee and Hello Oriental inside.

As for the retail spaces, there’s a bottle shop, a florists, an Asian grocery store, vintage clothing, a dog general store, and a delicatessen.

And as a unique addition, Derbyshire’s first public book vending machine has moved in, with 16 rotating titles chosen by the historic Dark Peak Books & Gifts.

There’s a dedicated children’s area that honours the work of illustrator and author John Vernon Lord, plus a huge new events and wedding space available for hire.

Richard Walker, managing director of The Hospitality Collective, said: “We know the local community has been patiently waiting for this moment, and we have been truly overwhelmed by the incredible engagement from such exciting local brands who wanted to be involved in the hall.

“It is a moment of immense pride for us to be able to finally launch the Market Hall, and we are so excited for the future of this venue as a destination the whole town can be proud of.”

Councillor Damien Greenhalgh, Deputy Leader and Executive Councillor for Regeneration, Tourism and Leisure, added: “We’re absolutely delighted to be opening the doors on this High Peak Borough Council‑delivered, multi‑million pound transformation of Glossop’s Market Hall, Arcade and Town Hall.

“This is the biggest regeneration project in decades, a true passion project that breathes new life into the very heart of our town. What’s most exciting is that we can now share it with the community – a space that celebrates our heritage, supports local entrepreneurs and creates a destination Glossop can be proud of for generations to come.

“From the outset, our vision has been to give local businesses and independent makers the platform they deserve, while building a vibrant hub that showcases the very best in food, drink and retail curated by our operator, The Hospitality Collective. Glossop Market Hall is set to thrive once again – a real gift to the town and the perfect way to kick off the festive season.”
