A NEW international outdoor clothing retailer is set to open in the heart of Barnsley town centre this autumn.
Trespass will be located in a 2,000sq ft unit in the Glass Works - between Flannels and Dolly’s Desserts.
Coun Robin Franklin, cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said: “Trespass is a very popular outdoor clothing brand, and we’re looking forward to welcoming their new store to our town centre this autumn.
“One of the key reasons is that the outlet and the active lifestyle the company encourages - will also support all we hope to achieve with our upcoming expanded Active Travel Hub.
“When Barnsley communities are opting for active travel - walking and cycling as part of their daily lives - this not only positively contributes to their physical and mental wellbeing, but it helps to foster a greater appreciation for our fantastic borough and the many green spaces it has.”
There are now 31 tenants located within the Glass Works covering retail, leisure, hospitality and health sectors, plus Barnsley Market and Market Kitchen food hall.
It welcomed footfall of 6.8 million in 2023 - a 22.5 per cent increase when compared to 2022.
