Shoppers, residents and students can comment on proposed rebranding designs for Idlewells Indoor Market at an open day on Monday 2 November.
The event at the Sutton-in-Ashfield market runs from 10am to 3pm and will include live music and discounts for students.
Visitors will be able to view designs and concepts for the market’s future appearance, with their feedback helping to inform its new identity.
The open day is also intended to introduce students who are new to the area to Sutton town centre and the market’s independent traders. Businesses sell fresh food, produce, fashion, gifts and crafts, alongside cafés and specialist retailers.
Students showing a valid student ID card will be able to access offers from participating traders:
- Websters Bakery: a £5 meal deal.
- Colledges Butchers: two sausage rolls for £4 or two Cornish pasties for £5.
- Phone Master Repair: a free screen protector with any repair, plus 50% off chargers and phone cases.
- Tina’s Woolly Crafts: 10% off purchases over £20.
- Ashfield Cheese & Spicee: cheese tastings and special offers.
John Bennett, Executive Director of Place at Ashfield District Council, said: “Idlewells Indoor Market plays an important role in Sutton town centre, and we’re keen to ensure it continues to meet the needs of both existing customers and future generations of shoppers.
“We’re particularly looking forward to welcoming students who may be new to the area and introducing them to the wide range of businesses, products and services available right here in the heart of Sutton.”
The event is open to everyone, including regular market customers and residents who want to comment on the proposals.
