Brewery appointed to lead revamped Goole Market Hall food and drink offer

Craft beer maker and bar operator Brew York has been chosen to run the revamped Goole Market Hall as it comes back to life as a food and events venue.

The York-based brewer, which already runs venues across North and West Yorkshire, made a bid to bring its beer and street food offering to the 128 year-old building which is undergoing a £4m regeneration that is due to be completed for opening in spring 2025. Approval for the project was granted in May with works set to start later this year.

The work is being funded as part of the £25m Goole Town Deal and it is hoped the reinvigorated Market Hall, which has been closed since 2019, will become an anchor destination of what is dubbed Goole’s ‘cultural quarter’, linking with nearby Junction Goole and Goole Museum. The building will also boast flexible space for local creative and craft businesses and host revenue-generating commercial and community events.

Wayne Smith, Brew York’s managing director, said: “We are really excited to be part of this amazing scheme. We have been working closely with the Goole Town Deal team since the back end of 2023 to ensure that we transform the Market Hall into a hub for the town to draw more people out and create a vibrant destination for everyone to enjoy. We can’t wait to bring our experience in events and entertaining to the town, and bring along our friends to serve up some of the best brews and local street food in the country.”

Coun Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Brew York has been appointed to operate the Market Hall and will be bringing its incredibly popular combination of craft beer and street food to the heart of Goole. This is a massive boost for the town centre, which will undoubtedly bring more visitors and increased spending to Goole.

“It was very important to the Goole Town Deal Board that, in addition to a food and drink offering that would boost the evening economy, the Market Hall should also still be able to host pop-up events and performances so we’re absolutely delighted with this outcome and can’t wait to welcome Brew York to Goole.”

In 2019 Goole Market Hall had fallen into disrepair and was said to be costing Goole Town Council more than £1,000 each month to operate. It was handed by to East Riding of Yorkshire Council before the Goole Town Deal Board made it central to its regeneration plans.
