A BONANZA OF FUN MARKS THE NEW LOOK WOOL MARKET OPENING IN DONCASTER The transformed Doncaster Wool Market will opens this week and will be celebrated in style with a fantastic weekend of fun and entertainment from Friday to Sunday, 29 to 31 March. Mayor Ros Jones said: “This is a momentous day for Doncaster. The revamped Wool Market is the first regeneration scheme to be completed since I launched our comprehensive Urban Centre Masterplan. This project and the many others underway, and in the pipeline, are designed to create a thriving town centre. “Our historic Wool Market has received a complete makeover. With its mix of new stalls for retail, eating and
drinking, it will be an attractive destination for traders and customers. It will enable Doncaster Markets to host more events and with extended opening hours into the evening all week long, it will encourage more people into the markets area. “I am sure local people and visitors are going to love the new vibe and I would urge people to come along for opening weekend celebrations to experience it first-hand. It’s going to be a great occasion.” The Wool Market refurbishment is part of the £6.8 million first phase of the Enterprise Marketplace scheme, which has benefited from £3.2 million of Local Growth Fund
(LGF) funding from the Sheffield City Region. The scheme was project managed by Doncaster Council, the main contractor was Willmott Dixon and the architect was Bond Bryan Architects. The bumper weekend kicks off on Friday (29 March) with a packed programme of entertainment. During the day, there will be live music courtesy of Natalie Black and Paula Swann-Sully, dance performances, street theatre and entertainers. An Enigma pop-up escape room, Flip Out trampolines and a traditional big ferris wheel will be available across the weekend. The fun continues into the evening with BBC’s
