Bilston Market redevelopment

Speller Metcalfe successfully delivered the redevelopment of Bilston Outdoor Market, creating a modern, flexible destination that meets the needs of traders, visitors and the wider community.

With funding from the UK government and local council, the redevelopment forms part of the Bilston Health & Regeneration Programme (HaRP), helping to maximise the market’s visibility and improve pedestrian connections to the neighbouring bus and Metro interchange.

The project included the demolition of selected existing structures to make way for a new facility designed to meet current and future requirements. Existing uses were reconfigured, the entrance to the indoor market was enhanced with improved focal points, and a flexible multi-use events and market space was created.

Additional improvements included a comprehensive package of new signage, the complete renewal of trader car parks, the provision of a new taxi drop-off point and cycle hub adjacent to the existing bus and Metro interchange, enhanced public realm landscaping, new retail units and public toilets, and a higher canopy providing improved weather protection for market stalls.
