Bury Market regeneration - progress and upcoming site works

Work has begun on the £33m Bury Market regeneration project ensuring the market can continue to thrive for many years to come!

New canopies are currently being installed to create a more attractive and visible outdoor market and foundation works for the Flexi Hall are in progress, ready for the construction starting in the summer.

Let's support the traders!

Bury Market will be open for business throughout the regeneration project, including during the construction phase of the Flexi Hall and while enhancement works are carried out to the outdoor market.
