Wakefield Council is working on plans to develop the former Market Hall in the city centre into a space for residents and creative businesses.
The new redevelopment of the site is being delivered by Wakefield Council with funding secured for the district through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Cultural Development Fund programme.
The project will see the site transformed into a mix of "creative business incubation space", alongside social and learning spaces, which will provide a regular programme of events for residents as well as independent food and drink.
Covid restrictions allowing, a series of interim events are planned for the site over coming months before construction is due to start later in the year.
The plans for the site after redevelopment will see a regular programme of events and activities, including the opportunity to showcase local talent, in the main market hall.
The Cultural Development Fund programme is managed by Wakefield Council and funded through a DCMS grant.
