Profile
A Leeds institution bursting with local flavour
Leeds Kirkgate Market is one of the largest indoor markets in Europe – and a cornerstone of the city’s culture since 1857. Housed in a stunning Grade I listed Victorian building, the market is a buzzing blend of traditional traders, global street food, fresh produce and independent shops.
This is where Michael Marks of Marks & Spencer fame started out with a humble penny bazaar – and the spirit of entrepreneurial hustle is still alive today. You’ll find everything from fresh fish and fruit to fabrics, flowers, fashion, and more, often at unbeatable prices.
The Market Kitchen food hall is a popular lunchtime destination, with vendors serving everything from Vietnamese bánh mì to Yorkshire pud wraps. It’s the perfect place to sample diverse flavours while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere.
Whether you’re bargain-hunting, supporting local makers, or just soaking in the sights and sounds, Kirkgate Market is a Leeds must-visit.
