Plans for a £20 million events hall in Bury’s town centre have been approved. The facility is envisioned to serve as a central attraction and a “gateway feature” to the town, according to council officials. The hall is designed to host a variety of events, including conferences, trade exhibitions, weddings, and Christmas parties. Additionally, Bury Council has plans to renovate the town’s market, including the construction of a new canopy for the existing outdoor market. The project is funded by the government’s Levelling Up fund and is part of broader initiatives to rejuvenate and transform the town centre. The proposal received the green light from the planning control committee, with certain conditions attached.
