IBH Castleford – Where Local Legends Thrive
IBH Castleford is a bold new indoor trading hub located in the heart of Castleford, inspired by the classic House of Fraser layout but reinvented for modern creators, entrepreneurs, and local legends. We offer flexible, stylish 10x10ft booths, wildcard, permanent and pop-up for small businesses, artists, resellers and startups. Every booth includes a table, access to free electricity and WiFi, and falls under our unique “one-trader-per-category” rule to protect product variety and value. Our mission is simple: revive the high street, power creative independence and build a true community market culture. We’re not just building a market we’re igniting a movement.
