A pivotal moment for the Ellesmere community occurred in March 2023 when Project SY12 CIC, a community interest company deeply invested in the welfare and prosperity of Ellesmere, took over the lease of the iconic Ellesmere Market Hall. This move symbolised more than just a change of management; it was a step towards revitalising and supporting the local economy and cultural landscape.

A New Chapter for Ellesmere Market Hall

Project SY12 CIC is not just managing the Ellesmere Market Hall; we are also at the helm of the Tuesday Charter Market, acting on behalf of Ellesmere Town Council. Our mission extends beyond mere management. We are dedicated to nurturing Ellesmere’s businesses, coordinating community events, and enhancing local connectivity. Our responsibilities include overseeing the Discover Ellesmere website, distributing town maps and leaflets, managing key noticeboards around the town, and running Ellesmere Pulse and Ellesmere Connect – our own networks aimed at fostering relationships between businesses and social enterprises within the SY12 area.

Vision for 2024 and Beyond

Throughout 2024, our team has been diligently working on initiatives that promise to enrich our town’s offerings. We are currently developing plans aimed at not only enhancing the market hall’s appeal but also elevating the overall market experience every Tuesday. These developments are geared towards creating a more engaging, efficient, and enjoyable environment for both traders and visitors.

Exciting Developments on the Horizon

One of the most thrilling updates is the refurbishment of Ellesmere Market Hall. Our vision includes establishing permanent pitches for traders that will be available three days a week, transforming the market into a staple of local commerce. Additionally, we are focused on making the hall space more user-friendly for various groups and clubs that are integral to our community’s vibrant social fabric.

In our quest for sustainability and efficiency, we are implementing energy-efficient heating and lighting systems. This not only helps in reducing operating costs but also aligns with our commitment to environmental stewardship, ensuring that our practices contribute positively to the community and the planet.

Stay Tuned for More

We are excited about the future and eager to share the unfolding of these plans with everyone. Keep an eye out for updates as we continue to develop and implement strategies that support and enhance the business landscape and community life in Ellesmere.

Ellesmere Market Hall is more than just a building; it’s a community hub that supports the town’s future. Through strategic management and innovative improvements, Project SY12 CIC is dedicated to ensuring that this historic market remains a treasured asset for all of Ellesmere.
