‘Bazaar’ things will be happening at Kirkgate market as a new market aimed at customers who have an interest in Asian fashion, food and culture is launched.

A little taste of Asia will be coming to the open market as the ‘Bazaar at Leeds market’ opens on Wednesdays to compliment the recently introduced all day Wednesday opening of the indoor market.

The launch of ‘The Bazaar’, will take place on Wednesday 28 July, and will operate every Wednesday thereafter. Entertainment at the launch will be provided by traditional bhangra dancers, Waris Punjab De and Dhol player Rani Taj. There will also be face painting, balloon art and children’s rides amongst the many stalls selling handbags, clothes and jewellery.

With the recently introduced all day Wednesday opening of the indoor market the Bazaar will provide additional interest for existing and new customers including an eclectic mix of stalls selling Asian sweets, fabrics and clothes.

Cath Follin, head of city centre and markets said:

“It is great that we are going to have the addition of the Bazaar market to compliment the fantastic offer already available in the indoor market and also to support the all day opening of the indoor market on Wednesdays.
