The vacant Marks & Spencer building is to be demolished to make way for a modern market that will focus on the sale of fresh food, hot foods and food related sales.
Our aim is to make the food market a celebration of the best independent foods in the city, district and region.
Our exciting plans for the city markets have been approved by the Council. The plans will be available to view online and at our stakeholder consultation events taking place at the end of October. Further details will be announced shortly.
We have put together an experienced design team to take our plans forward and create two vibrant modern market halls that will become hubs for independent food and non-food retailing excellence in Bradford City Centre.
Visitors to the Oastler Shopping Centre can enjoy a summer of free film fun at a new pop-up cinema announced today as part of the Bradford Family Film Festival.

Shoppers will be able to enjoy a free screening every Friday at 11am throughout August. Titles include the 1960’s classic The Jungle Book, Aardman animation’s Shaun the Sheep and some exciting Pixar animation shorts.
Work on the initial feasibility study and designs for both markets commenced in September 2017, and completed in January 2018.
We are open Good Friday and Saturday, Normal Times across all our markets and closed on Bank Holiday.
