Kirkgate Shopping Centre
Kirkgate Shopping Centre, known locally and historically as Kirkgate Market, was a shopping centre located in the city centre of Bradford, United Kingdom. The former market closed its doors on June 28, 2025. Originally opening in 1872 as a market, the original market operated for just over a century. The site of the original marketplace was demolished in 1973 and reopened the same year as a shopping centre on the 22nd November 1973 with a notable brutalist architecture designed by John Brunton & Partners who also designed other brutalist buildings in the city, such as High Point. The shopping centre contained multiple floors with 350,000sq ft of retail space, including an indoor market, 60 retail units, 10 kiosks, a 650 space secured car park The shopping centre, along with the former John Street Market, is planned to be demolished in 2026 as part of a city centre regeneration scheme for Bradford in line with a UK City of Culture 2025 bid. The former shopping centre will be replaced by public garden areas, residential plots composed of new build housing and a new Darley Street Market.
