Glossop Town Hall complex
Find out more about the Glossop Town Hall Complex and our plans to return the buildings to public use
Glossop Town Hall and Market were built by Bernard Edward Howard, the 12th Duke of Norfolk. The foundation stone was laid in 1938. Municipal Buildings started out as the open fish market part of the current market building before various alterations and additions over the years.
The Municipal Buildings is used mainly for office accommodation; the Market Hall is currently empty whilst work to modernise and renovate the facilities takes place; and the Town Hall was used as a public hall/venue but has been out of use since 2008 due to accessibility issues and limited use.
All of the buildings are listed and were the subject of an extensive public consultation exercise as part of the Glossop Design and Place Making Strategy which expresses the aspirations of the Glossop public.
Projects to replace the roofs at the Town Hall, the Municipal Buildings and Market Hall have now been completed and the bigger project to regenerate and rejuvenate the buildings is also now nearing completion. The complex is set to re-open this year (2025).
The transformation we're delivering blends the provision of modern, fit-for-purpose facilities and spaces with the heritage elements that give these important civic spaces their character.
As the construction work nears completion, the Council is pleased to announce it is in the process of completing the legal work to formally appoint Fork and Field Catering Limited as its operational partner following a recent decision by the Council's Executive. Once the paperwork is complete, we'll be revealing the name they'll be trading under in Glossop and sharing more details about what we all have to look forward to when the buildings re-open.
