What's on at Kirkgate
The Market has always been a place for shopping, eating and drinking and it is now a major social destination too.
Our multifunctional event space has seen to that. With a 10x10m pavilion stage, an eight metre LED screen, bench tables, free Wi-Fi and a perimeter lined with street food vendors, the area is the perfect place for people to try some new cuisine, meet friends and watch live entertainment.
Our event space is available to hire and could be the ideal location for your next event. Find out more on our venue hire page.
