Artist's impressions show revamped market hall

New artist's impressions have illustrated how a historic city market hall will look after a £35m revamp.

The Grade II-listed Derby Market Hall has been closed for three years while roof repairs and a refurbishment have taken place.

The city council said it was on course to reopen by spring 2025.

The authority said the new-look hall would include a mix of themed stores, a food court and space for pop-up events and activities.

Council leader Nadine Peatfield said: "The transformation of Derby Market Hall is a reflection of our collective ambition to create a city that everyone can take pride in.

"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."

The £35.1m project has been partly funded with £9.43m from the government's Future High Streets Fund (FHSF).

The council said the current phase of the work was focussing on the internal refurbishment of the hall.

It also includes work to redevelop the public space in Osnabruck Square outside the building.
