Market Hall

Market Hall is a covered brick building in Carlisle, England, functioning as both a marketplace and concert venue with multiple retail spaces and performance areas. The structure features long corridors with stalls along the perimeter and larger open sections for gatherings and events.

The building was constructed between 1887 and 1889 under the design of architects Arthur Cawston and Joseph Graham. The ironwork elements were manufactured by Cowans, Sheldon & Company during the Victorian period.

The space remains an active gathering place where shopping, performances, and community events happen side by side. Local visitors and travelers use it as a central point for both commerce and entertainment in the city.

The building has multiple entry points accessible from different sides, including West Tower Street and Fisher Street areas. Visitors should expect that the space may be particularly busy on market days and during scheduled performances or events.

This building is one of the few remaining covered Victorian markets still operating in England and houses roughly a hundred retail shops across its floors. Its survival is notable since many comparable structures from that era were demolished elsewhere.
