An indoor artisan market and Ipswich s answer to the world-famous Cavern Club could be on the way to the former Peacock s store if ambitious plans to redevelop the site are realised.
Developers Microshops Ipswich want to convert the former clothes shop in Carr Street into an indoor market offering stalls, or pods , to retailers selling specialist individual projects.
Among early enquiries have been a proposal for a coffee stall selling hot drinks, with ground coffee to take away and home-made cakes.
Microshops is working with Art Eat Events, which ran the successful Art Eat Festival on Ipswich Waterfront in 2019, to set up the new centre - and hopes to be able to open its doors in phases from June this year.
