Moor Market Opening Day!

Moor Market, Kirkby in Ashfield’s new indoor market on Lowmoor Road, will be welcoming residents through its doors for the first time on Saturday 16th October.

To celebrate the opening, the Moor Market Café will be running two offers throughout the day to tempt residents to try their delicious fresh barista coffee and cakes. From 9am – 11am customers can get a free americano, then from 11am the cafe will be giving away free cake with any coffee purchased.

Visitors will get the chance to shop at the first pop up Artisan Craft & Gift Market which features local crafters, bakers and makers. There will be handmade jewellery, papercrafts, embroidery gifts, unique children’s clothing, artwork, and baked goods on offer from 9am – 5pm.

There will also be entertainment for the whole family with free face painting and clown workshops from 9am – 12pm.

Cllr Matthew Relf, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Planning, said “We are thrilled to be able to announce the highly anticipated opening date for Moor Market. After all the months of work that has gone into creating Moor Market it will be fantastic to see residents and visitors going through the doors for the first time.

“This is the first of many projects to be delivered as part of the £62.6m Town Fund investment that Ashfield District Council secured from the government. Moor Market will bring a new diverse offer and more choice to shoppers in Kirkby and marks the start of the town centre regeneration.”
