Leeds Kirkgate Market, Grade I listed market hall in Leeds, United Kingdom.

Leeds Kirkgate Market contains 800 commercial spaces under a high Victorian glass roof structure covering multiple shopping sections and food areas.

The market started as an open-air venue in 1822 before expanding into covered sections between 1850 and 1875, following its move from Briggate.

The market stands as the birthplace of Marks & Spencer, which began as a penny bazaar in 1884, marked by a commemorative clock installed in 1984.

Located on Vicar Lane in central Leeds, the market welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM with 100,000 weekly customers.

The 1904 hall exhibits Flemish and Art Nouveau architectural elements with decorative ironwork, surviving a major fire that affected other sections in 1975.
