Over the past nine years Peddler Market has grown into one of the country’s leading street food events, synonymous with award-winning cuisine, independent craft drinks, live music and entertainment.
Now, bringing their expertise to Wakefield, Peddler Market will launch at Tileyard North this summer, on the 18th and 19th of August.
The eagerly anticipated launch of Peddler Market at Tileyard North promises to be a game-changer for the local community. This event will serve as a vibrant platform for food, drink, music, art, and the start of a partnership to bring this renowned event to Wakefield.
Nick Keynes, Co-Founder of Tileyard North, celebrated the announcement sharing its importance in the opening year at our creative destination in Wakefield:
“From the first time we walked into the Carding Shed at Tileyard North back in 2016 – when it was a derelict space – we all unanimously agreed that it would make the most amazing venue for a food market. Roll on 7 years and we are delighted to announce our exciting partnership with Ben and the Peddler Market team. Having been down to their Sheffield venue a few times now I can safely say it’s the best street food market I have ever been to, so we cannot wait for the first Peddler event at Tileyard North on August 18/19.”
Ben Smith, Co-Founder of Peddler Market, shared that through this collaboration-focused event, they seek to foster community engagement and contribute to the cultural fabric of Wakefield.
“I speak on behalf of the entire Peddler Events team when I say we are thrilled to introduce Peddler Market to Wakefield. The unyielding appetite, ambition, and vision displayed by the entire Tileyard North team has consistently impressed us, making Tileyard North an ideal match for the values of Peddler. We can’t wait to contribute to the evolution of Wakefield as a vibrant cultural destination. Our ambitious plans will establish Peddler Market as a regular fixture on Wakefield’s creative landscape, shaping it into an integral part of the city’s thriving cultural scene.”
