PLATFORM (formerly CreweCreates), will be moving inside the former Burton Menswear/Dorothy Perkins unit at 77-83 Market Street this December.

Earlier this summer, the 7,205 sq ft building was sold at auction to a local businessman for an undisclosed fee.

Standing empty since August 2021, it is understood all floors of the corner building will be utilised.

Closing its pop-up store on 27 September, 2025, PLATFORM has ambitions to be a space where people have the freedom to be creative.

They hope their art-space and gallery will draw people into Crewe on the weekends.

In autumn, PLATFORM said: "After nearly a year in our current art-space, we are moving - just across the road.

"Our new home will be in the old Burtons department store, a much bigger space that gives us room to grow, dream, and create even more opportunities for local people and artists.

"We will be opening the full building in stages, starting downstairs, and we have got loads of ideas and plans in the pipeline to make it truly special for our communities.

"To make it happen, we'll be taking a short break while we roll up our sleeves and, with the help of our brilliant volunteers, get everything ready."

This move comes as Greggs, Market Street, relocated to 12 Victoria Street, temporarily taken on by the CreweCreates Artspace (now PLATFORM).

Opening on November 14, the new Greggs shop has public toilets, outdoor and indoor seating and a bigger range of food and drink (Photo: Ryan Parker).
