Contractors set to start on ambitious project to turn historic Rogart mart into a multi-purpose events space

Rogart Development Trust has announced that work is to start on its ambitious mart project later this month.

The Trust said that contractors will begin work on the scheme on Thursday, February 24.

The project involves converting the historic but redundant mart into a multi-purpose events space.

A planning application has been approved and the plans include the installation of a Green Room incorporating toilets and a kitchen offering refreshments.

It is intended that the refurbished mart will provide space for events such as theatre performances, markets and fairs. The 1.24 hectare site lies in the centre of the village.
