Newport Market’s underground cellar could soon be transformed into shops should the company operating the market have plans approved by the city council. The plans could see the vaults below the market turned into shops, restaurants, offices or leisure businesses to make for a vibrant mixed space.
It is understood the plans include private dining rooms, wine and sherry tasting facilities, toddlers’ entertainment, a games arcade and a bookable exercise studio. The market's refurbishment, which cost between five and six million pounds, comes after years of declining footfall and after many of its most well-known traders began to depart.
