The Priory Shopping Centre is in line for a significant facelift next year, with plans to introduce an entertainment complex, indoor market, and food court to the site.
Bassetlaw District Council confirmed the regeneration scheme, which forms part of a broader drive to breathe new life into Worksop town centre. The changes will be phased in during 2026.
Alongside the main attractions, the council is offering pop-up retail spaces within the centre to support new entrepreneurs. Businesses will share allocated space within a unit, making it a low-cost and low-risk way for newcomers to test the retail market without major financial outlay.
The Priory has been a fixture on Worksop high street for decades, but like many traditional shopping centres, it has faced challenges in recent years. The council's investment signals a confidence that there is still appetite for a diverse, mixed-use destination in the town centre.
Full details on how to apply for the pop-up retail spaces have not yet been announced. Residents interested in setting up a business or wanting more information should contact Bassetlaw District Council for updates as the project develops.
