Bury Market is set for a major new addition this autumn, with CGI images revealing what the new Casewells food, drink and events venue will look like.
Named after the first shop in Bury believed to have sold black pudding, Casewells is part of Bury Council’s £33m plans to transform the iconic Angouleme Way market.
The new venue will feature 12 food and retail units, alongside a central bar and stage for live performances and community events.
The wider regeneration project will also bring improved public spaces around the venue, as well as a new canopy over the outdoor market.
Councillor Charlotte Morris, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Growth at Bury Council, said: “Casewells reflects the approach we’re taking across the borough. We’re not simply delivering new buildings. We’re creating places that people use, enjoy and feel connected to.
“Bury is delivering regeneration at pace, but growth here builds on identity. The things that make our towns distinctive matter, and Casewells is a good example of that approach. It draws on Bury’s heritage while creating new opportunities for people to come together, support local businesses and spend time in the town centre.
“These images show a place where food, culture and community come together, and where investment is delivering something people will experience and use every day. We’re particularly keen to make sure local food businesses benefit from the opportunities Casewells brings – please do get in touch.”
Midlands Events Bury Ltd (MEB), which specialises in multi-use food and event spaces, will take on a 15-year lease of Casewells.
Andrew Burnett, Director of Midlands Events, added: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing a vibrant new food and entertainment venue to Bury. The response from prospective food traders has been fantastic, giving us great confidence that the range and quality of food on offer when we open will be second to none.
“Combined with the exciting programme of live entertainment and events we have planned, we are confident Casewells will become a destination for people of all ages. We’d like to thank our colleagues at Bury Council for their support in helping bring this opportunity to life, and we look forward to becoming a valued part of Bury town centre and the wider community.”
