Five new traders welcomed to Barnsley Market

Barnsley Market has welcomed five fantastic new traders to the indoor market, adding to the variety of high-quality products in the heart of the town centre.

Two businesses, Stitch Express and Reena Jewellers, have relocated from the Alhambra Shopping Centre as the Health on the High Street project begins to take shape.

Stitch Express brings 25 years of trading experience to Barnsley Market. The family-run business offers clothes alteration, a tailor service and curtain making.

The second, Reena Jewellers, is a well-loved local business and previous trader in the market, providing a wide range of high-quality jewellery such as watches, rings and more.

Caroline Poskett, owner of florists Anthophila which opened in December 2023, has expanded their offer and now launched a new salon, drawing on her 21 years of experience as a hairdresser.

Anthophila Hair is now open near their flower shop on the top floor of Barnsley Market.

A new men’s clothing stall, Connection Clothing, has also opened on the ground floor, just in time to build a new spring and summer wardrobe.

There has also been a new addition to Barnsley’s food hall, Market Kitchen. Bento will be serving up traditional Chinese and Japanese food from Monday to Saturday between 11am to 8pm, adding a unique food option to the market’s offerings.

Councillor Robin Franklin said, "Barnsley Market is thriving and it’s wonderful to see businesses stay and expand in our bustling town centre, something our new Inclusive Economic Growth Strategy is helping to achieve.

“The market remains a vital part of Barnsley, providing a space for local businesses to grow and for residents to enjoy a variety of shopping and dining experiences.

"The new stalls will enhance Barnsley Market’s lively atmosphere and reinforce its importance to the Barnsley community.”
