The Wool Market is a covered Victorian market hall in Doncaster town centre converted into a food and leisure hub, with ten street-food traders, three bars and a main stage. A medieval well uncovered during the building works is preserved under a glass floor. The main stage carries local and visiting acts plus a weekly Sunday open mic, and a leisure zone alongside it has duckpin bowling, shuffleboard and arcades.
