Leeds Kirkgate Market is alive with movement, from the bustling shoppers to the trade routes that trace their way to Yorkshire from all over the world.
The gifted writers of Young Inscribe will seek out the stories of Kirkgate’s people: from Victorian characters like ‘Cheap Jack’ and Mr Marks & Mr Spencer to the traders and customers of today.
Their stories will be uncovered in the Spring of 2012 through interactive performance tours and poems traded for travelling tote-bags, celebrating the voices of Kirkgate Market past and present. Watch this space for details!
To Market, To Market is a DLS Enterprises project, supported by imove and Peepal Tree Press and working with writers from Young Inscribe.
