With a snip of the red ribbon, Cllr Sonja Crisp declared Shambles Market officially open on Wednesday (March 25).

26 reasons why Shambles Market will change York for good

Traders moved back to their home between Shambles and Parliament Street on Monday after a £1.6 million refurbishment.

New to the market are seven kiosks with perforated aluminium doors which will be backlit at night. There’s a new layout, a relaid stone floor and the stalls have been renovated and fitted with new canopies.

Paul Anderson, chair of the Market Traders’ Association and a Shambles Market stallholder, said traders were really pleased with the result.

He said

“We’re all really happy with our new-look market and are positive it will be a success. The work that has been done will really revitalise the market and we look forward to welcoming more customers to our new-look stalls.”

Cllr Crisp, cabinet member for leisure, culture and tourism praised the fantastic new-look.

“Shoppers will benefit immensely from the market’s new and upgraded features and can enjoy making their purchases in a welcoming environment.”
