A NEW programme of seasonal markets across the borough will start later this month.
The markets will take place in Wombwell, Penistone, Hoyland and Goldthorpe, giving residents and visitors something new to enjoy all year round alongside our traditional markets, which will continue to run one day a week.
The ‘improved offer’, according to the council, will begin with spring markets in Goldthorpe and Wombwell on March 28, in Penistone on April 4 and in Hoyland on April 11.
Specialist markets will then launch on April 25 - after that, themed markets will rotate between the centres.
Coun Robin Franklin, cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said: “We are excited to bring these new markets to Barnsley.
“People told us in surveys earlier this year that they wanted more fun, creative and sustainable markets - and we listened.
“We’re excited to see these markets bring people together, support local traders, and create a real buzz across the borough.
“We can’t wait to see everyone enjoying them.”
