2-4 Market Place Anniversary Tours

For 2026's Heritage Open Days Festival, you're invited back inside 2-4 Market Place one year on from the first hard hat tours... Join Us for the 2-4 Market Place Anniversary Tours! As this year’s Heritage Open Days Festival approaches, the 2-4 team is excited to invite you back inside the Market Place buildings one year on from our first HOD hard-hat tours. This time, the hard hats can stay at home. Our four anniversary tours offer a chance to see exactly how much progress has been made since last year, revisit the stories that first brought people through the doors, and look ahead to the next chapter for 2-4 Market Place. There’s no arguing that this has been one of Caistor’s most talked-about buildings over the last year, so, on Saturday 19 September, why not come and take a look around to see what has been going on behind closed doors? Four tour times are being offered this September, with each tour lasting approximately an hour. While 2-4 is far from the building site it once was, suitable footwear and clothing are still recommended. Tour times: • 10-11am • 11:30-12:30pm • 1:30-2:30pm • 3-4pm Places are limited and must be booked in advance. If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket or get in touch with the team. What to expect Visitors will be taken on a guided tour through the building, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the work taking place on-site — no hard hat required this time. This is your first chance to see inside the building now the compound has gone, the parking has returned, and the hard hats are off. This year’s Heritage Open Days theme, Everyday Histories, invites us to look again at the places, people and stories that have shaped daily life. At 2–4 Market Place, as with the rest of Caistor, that story is written into the fabric of the building itself — from its place at the heart of the marketplace to the generations of local people who have worked, shopped, gathered and passed through its doors. These guided anniversary tours offer your chance to see how far the restoration project has come in a year, hear more about the building’s past, and discover the new units that will soon welcome new businesses to Caistor. Come and ask questions, retrace the progress made since last year’s Heritage Open Days tours, and get a closer look! Important information As the building is still undergoing restoration, visitors should be aware that some areas may still feel like a work in progress. Suitable footwear is recommended — but the good news is, this is a no-hard-hat tour.
