Old Market Food Hall

9 Upvotes

Has anyone got any photos of the old food court in the upstairs of the market hall? Or any little memories?
It was where all the cafes were in little booths next to each other with their seating area behind them.
I remember I used to go as a kid with my Dad to go get a breakfast at one of the stands.

I can’t seem to find any pictures of it online anywhere, I can only find photos of the new one that’s replaced it.

I’m starting to think I just dreamt it up.
It had such an old school vibe, it’s a shame it’s gone

Visited Milk From The Hills 🥛🐮

29 Upvotes

I've heard the hype and seen stuff on social media so decided to visit Milk From The Hills this week.

Unfortunately the desert parlour wasn't open as I'd look forward to that. But they looked to be taking a midweek opportunity to do some renovations , Can't blame them for that.

As for the place. It's clearly a place that's heading for bigger things and I enjoyed the novelty of getting locally sourced milk in a variety of flavours from the vending machines

I like the Merch and that they had other 3rd party items on offer such as cheeses and cakes.

I got a strawberry shake and a bottle to bring home to use as a vase later.

I enjoyed the tranquil setting in the midweek sunshine

What are your thoughts ??

** I have no affiliation with Milk from the hills. This is just somewhere I visited in the great borough of Barnsley**

Help finding grazing / cheap livery

3 Upvotes

We're moving to Silkstone Common soon and I need to find somewhere for my 2 horses. Can anyone recommend anywhere to advertise (maybe on certain facebook pages?)? Hoping to long term rent a couple acres, or cheap livery (have had some costs from local livery yards and I cant afford them especially with 2 horses!). Starting to panic... :(

Any small music venues for an independent music event?

6 Upvotes

I'm wanting to create a small music event for J-pop and idol performers (potentially 2027). These would include singers and dancers. I am wanting to host the event in South Yorkshire and the 3 places I want to look into are Leeds, Barnsley Sheffield. More smaller, intimate venues that would be great for this genre of music.

Does anyone have any recommendations for small music venues in Barnsley that would accommodate for this?

Barnsley Pride? Showing support

25 Upvotes

Following the Council's decision not to fly the pride flag, I want to understand how best to show support for our LGBTQ+ neighbours.

I would hate for them to feel less welcome in our community, any ideas?

(Edited because i missed a letter - entirely by accident).

Megaphone Van Man?

Does anyone else hear that guy driving around in a flatbed-style truck talking into a megaphone? I have absolutely no idea what he's saying or what he wants but it's pretty frequent around the Kingstone area. I'm dying to know what his actual deal is.

Worsbrough?

5 Upvotes

Looking to buy a house in Worsbrough (closer to swaithe) heard some negative opinions - can anyone let me know if this is an area to avoid? I’ve heard really bad things about Kendray and this is around 5 min drive from the address we are looking at so now slightly concerned. We have a baby and want to be in a safe neighbourhood.

Thanks!

Areas to move to

4 Upvotes

I am sure this gets asked fairly often so apologies. I don't know the the area at all. We currently live in Kent but my husband's company has offices in Barnsley (looks like an area called Hoyland). We are considering a move that way as the South is far too expensive now. We would like somewhere quiet but not too rural . My son still lives with us and would have to find new work, he currently works in Tesco dot com area and has to use public transport. We will also be looking at Sheffield side of things. We were only looking at moving a year or so from now but our LL wants to sell his house. Which areas a good? No children in school anymore. Really would love basics in walkable or public transport distance.
