Huddersfield gem welcomes open day for Huddersfield's Queensgate Market, Saturday 6 November.
Kirklees Council today announced, at short notice, the first ever open day for Queensgate Market Hall.
On Saturday 6 November there will be tours of the building to include the former market offices that form the two-storey
panoptical structure in the middle of the market, the restaurant at first floor level now used as market offices (this
has views across the market and the town) and its roof terrace. There will also be tours of the lower floors of the
market that are used to supply the market.
Chris Marsden of Huddersfield Gem said "We thank the council for taking this step in participative consultation and
encourage anyone with an interest in buildings to take up this unique opportunity to see this unique and innovative 1970
building. When people have seen the building with a fresh eye I expect them to want to take part in the consultation".

- Kirklees Metropolitan Council is considering seven options to redevelop the area around the Huddersfield's 1930's
library. Some of these options involve demolishing the Queensgate Market Hall.
- The market hall is currently being considered by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport for listing because
of historic or architectural interest.
- Huddersfield Gem aims include the study, promotion of interest in and ensuring the future of the Queensgate
Market Hall building. Gem will work in partnership with other groups and organisations to identify the best options
for the building and its users.
