Pop-up market at Leeds’ The Springs set to become permanent feature
A pop-up artisan market at The Springs retail and leisure centre in Thorpe Park, Leeds, is set to become a permanent feature.
Leeds Local Market debuted in August and brought together 22 local traders to showcase their food offerings and artisanal gifts.
Vendors included The Baking Banksy, Brutalist & Co, COOK, The Crafty Northerner, The Tru Soap Co, and the Yorkshire Pie Bakery, amongst others.
The event was hosted by Yorkshire Urban Markets and saw a successful start to trading, encouraging The Springs to make the market a permanent fixture at the scheme.
Rachel Vickers, senior commercial manager at Scarborough Group International, the developer and asset manager of The Springs and Thorpe Park Leeds, said: “As demonstrated through our seasonal events programme, we are committed to bringing in new and exciting attractions to The Springs on a regular basis.
“We are thrilled that the Leeds Local Market proved so popular for our visitors and that we were also able to support independent traders where some sold out of their wares in just a few hours. The event also boosted footfall for our existing stores where many reported increased trading.”
