IT’s been years in the making, but Warrington Market finally has a permanent home again.
And what a home it is.
When the new look was revealed back in July, it brought a much-needed smile to our faces.
And since then, thousands of shoppers and diners have been for a look.
Check out the best pictures from opening day here.
The market hall is a key component of the £142million Time Square redevelopment, which also includes Cineworld and Warrington Borough Council’s new offices.
Old stalwarts remain alongside exciting new traders, fronting onto Bridge Street via the old Boots building.
On the opposite side, the Cookhouse food court boasts flavours from across the world as well as a licenced bar and additional outdoor seating for al fresco dining.
And these are 14 of our favourite pictures from the first day of an exciting new era for Warrington Market.
