Market Press Release
On Wednesday January 28th 2026, the Market Committee held a meeting to discuss and agree the Market re-launch. It was agreed by the Market Committee to defer the re-launch of the market until further notice. This delay in relaunching is due to several factors, namely, the possibility of relocating the market and related permissions, availability of staffing levels and the revamping and re-styling of the market itself.
During the meeting, the Committee also discussed the future vision of Holsworthy Market. This includes the opportunity to relocate and revamp to allow the market to evolve and expand. The Committee acknowledges that these factors will in effect prevent the market from re-opening by Easter 2026 and endeavour to continue working with representatives from other markets, to review current structures that could enhance the overall outlook and presentation of Holsworthy Market.
Further details will be provided in due course, and, as soon as available.
