A Diverse Mix of Traders
The new Lifestyle Hall within the market is set to host an impressive array of 26 traders, infusing the space with a delightful blend of color, fragrance, and style.

Beauty and Fashion Flourish
For beauty aficionados, Nail Fairy and Mystic Brows, The Make-Up Stall, and The Beauty Bar promise to pamper and indulge, continuing their journey from the old Kirkgate Market. The allure of fashion will be enhanced with Kammy’s Necessities, Gold Gift Shop, and H&K Textiles setting up their chic stalls. Adding a robust dash of masculine flair, Mr. Jeans offers stylish menswear that has already garnered love through online sales.
Home Style Elegance
In the home-style section, The Curtain Shop and Symbian Technology promise innovation and elegance, alongside familiar names like HN Bedding and Caz Domestics. David Metcalfe of The Curtain Shop is excited to dress the district’s windows, welcoming both old and new customers into the fresh new space.
A Flourishing Community
Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw shared his delight at retaining the variety and tradition that make Bradford unique, celebrating both the return of cherished traders and the arrival of new entrepreneurs. This blend of the familiar with the novel ensures a robust market that caters to diverse tastes and needs.
