Wakefield to host a vibrant celebration of global flavours this September
Monday, September 01, 2025
Wakefield city centre is set to come alive this September as the Continental Street Market returns, bringing a vibrant mix of global flavours and unique products to Northgate.
From sizzling street food to handcrafted treasures, visitors can enjoy a world of tastes and cultures in the heart of the city.
“I’d encourage everyone to visit our Continental Street Market in the city centre from 11 – 14 September.
“Events like this really help our city centre. They are an important part of our plan to get more people to spend more on our high streets so that they continue to thrive.
“There will be so much for all the family to try at our market in September. And you’ll be able to support many of our amazing local businesses too.”
Cllr Jack Hemingway
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Growth
With over 25 traders offering everything from Mediterranean delicacies to Asian street food and classic British favourites, the market promises a feast for the senses. Visitors can also browse artisan stalls for unique gifts and high-quality goods.
The market is part of a wider programme of events across the district, designed to boost footfall, offer expert business support, and help our high streets adapt to a changing economy. It’s all part of a long-term vision for vibrant town centres with a mix of retail, leisure, and residential space.
