Scarborough Market Hall is a beautiful, Tuscan style building built and opened in 1853, designed by John Irvin. In 1993, the vaults beneath the Market Hall were transformed into shops and this expansion created 36 retail spaces. The visually pleasing Market Hall can be found in Saint Helen’s Square and is a hub for shoppers looking for amazing quality products and food.
A recent £2.7 million redevelopment project transformed Scarborough Market and ‘the vaults’. The must-visit shopping destination is home to amazing independent businesses that sell quirky and unique products, as well as mouth-watering food spots selling fresh and locally sourced goods.
Traditional market stalls can be found on the ground floor selling fresh meats, vegetables and fruits as well as cafes and delis selling freshly made snacks and meals. Up in the gallery and down in the vaults are also home to a plethora of unique, independent businesses selling a wide range of products. Head on over to Scarborough Market Hall to explore the floors of independent stalls, shops, delis and cafes where you will discover new, quirky and wonderful shopping spots to include in your next retail therapy trip…
