VIDEO: warrington-worldwide was given a “through the keyhole” tour of the new look Warrington Market which is set to open for business on September 2.
Editor Gary Skentelbery was given a tour of the impressive looking new facility which will be home to more than 50 local businesses, by market manager Andy Ward.
During the tour they bumped into former Warrington Wolves’ legend Mark Forster, who is working on the project.
As well as the fifty plus local businesses there will also be a studio for community radio station Radio Warrington.

Great video – would be really helpful if such videos had subtitles – it’s not always suitable to have sound on.
As the video is recorded live it is not possible to use sub titles.
If I can’t have the sound on I just use tiny earphones connected to my mobile phone or other device. They are only a couple of pounds to buy if you don’t already have some and sound quality if really good even for ones that cheap.
I went into town yesterday to go to my bank (still bugs me that I have to go into town and pay to park just to go to my bank though since my local branch closed though….) but that aside I did walk past the new market and it looked really nice from the outside and the paving and planting looked nice too.
Watching the video though I was surprised to see that it seems a lot smaller inside than it looks from the outside.
The gent in the video also says there will be 57 stalls……again I was expecting far more than that to be honest.
I went in the current market too while I was there and it was very sad to see just how any stalls were closed down and empty since my last visit some months back. I guess those which have closed down will not be moving to this new but temporary market and then on to the permanent one once that it built 🙁
I’m looking forward to it opening though and hope the traders survive the changes and that it works out for them and they do well 😀
Park for free at Cockhedge, plenty of time to go to the bank
