Doncaster’s Corn Exchange to reopen at Easter
Market Asset Management operates the grade two-listed building, which has gone through two years of restoration and will be home to a range of local businesses.
Built in 1870 as a concert hall and market, the building has Victorian classical architecture reflected in the newly created shopfronts.
So far, KLSandco, Little Darlings Boutique, Refine Aesthetics, and Don Valley Brewery have signed up as tenants, as well as a café.
Michelle Hobson, leasing manager at Market Asset Management, which also operates the indoor and outdoor market and Doncaster Wool Market, said: “The attention surrounding the Corn Exchange has been overwhelmingly positive so far and we’re proud to launching this iconic venue with such a fantastic mix of traders.
“We want to support local businesses and help them thrive. The re-launch of the Wool Market in 2019 and now the Corn Exchange couldn’t have come at a better time as we look to increase our efforts to attract people back to the city centre.”
Dan Swaine, director of place at City of Doncaster Council, said: “This is exciting news for Doncaster and a fantastic opportunity for people to visit the city centre over the Easter weekend. Following the completion of works in November last year, we have seen the building being used regularly for events over the autumn and winter period, and now the building is ready to host retail units once again.”
The Corn Exchange will reopen on 19th April and standard retail opening days will be Tuesday-Saturday.
