Former Dorchester prison to host monthly market
A former prison in Dorchester, England, will host a monthly market starting in May 2023. The market will feature a variety of vendors, including crafters, farmers, food sellers, and car booters. The market is being organized by City and Country, the developers who bought the prison in 2013. The developers have plans to turn the prison into 185 homes, but those plans have stalled. In the meantime, they are using the prison for a variety of events, including the monthly market.
The market will take place on the first Saturday of each month from 10am to 4pm. It will be held in the prison’s exercise yard, which is a large, open space. The market will be free to enter and there will be no parking charges.
The developers hope that the market will be a success and that it will help to generate interest in their plans to convert the prison into homes. They also hope that the market will help to revitalize the local area.
The market is expected to attract a wide range of people, including locals, tourists, and people who are interested in history and prisons. It is also expected to be a popular destination for families and children.
The market is a new and innovative way to use a former prison. It is a great way to bring people together and to generate interest in the local area. It is also a great way to support local businesses and to promote the local economy.
