Archive: August 2026. This report describes the planned September opening of the mezzanine. Check the Market Hall’s current visitor information.

On 8 September 2026, the Market Hall announced nine mezzanine traders. The announcement described the opening as forthcoming; check the operator for current availability.

In August 2026, new retail and leisure activities were planned to launch at Glossop’s historic Market Hall when the mezzanine opened the following month.

Work to install automatic air vents in the glazed roof over the main hall and mezzanine walkways was due to start that week, completing the transformation of the halls.

At the time, scaffolding had been put up and the halls were expected to remain open throughout the works, which were expected to take around four weeks.

In August 2026, the operator said the Market Hall had received more than half a million visits since its reopening after the council-led regeneration.

The mezzanine was designed to complement the existing food, drink and retail businesses with new products, services and experiences.

Councillor Damien Greenhalgh, Deputy Leader and Executive Councillor for Regeneration, Tourism and Leisure, said: “I’m pleased that this work is now underway – it means we can now look forward to fully opening the Mezzanine in September which completes the transformation of the Halls into a thriving destination for the whole community.

“Glossop Market Hall has quickly become a genuine hub supporting independent businesses and creating a welcoming place for the community and visitors from further afield to spend their leisure time. It’s exactly what we set out to achieve and we are thrilled with the results.

“The new businesses and experiences coming to the Mezzanine level will only add to what brings people here and really cement the Halls as a place people want to visit for years to come.”

Richard Walker, Managing Director of The Hospitality Collective which managed Glossop Market Hall at the time, said: “Opening the Mezzanine will be an incredibly proud moment for everyone involved in Glossop Market Hall. It’s the final piece of a project that has brought new energy, businesses and visitors into the heart of the town.

“The response since opening has been extraordinary with more than half a million visits already. We look forward to revealing the Mezzanine traders at the end of August and to welcoming everyone upstairs in September.”
