THE revamped Newport Market is finally re-opening its doors to the public today, Saturday.
The market, which has been redeveloped in a multi-million-pound project by LoftCo, has a soft launch on Thursday, with the ribbon cut by council leader Jane Mudd. You can read more about that here.
The ambitious project began in January 2021 and, just over a year later, the refurbished building will throw its doors open to the public today, March 19.

Here’s some of what people can look forward to...
