Executive summary from entrant: 

Spearheading Caerphilly town’s 2035 regeneration masterplan, Ffos Caerffili creates a new home for small businesses to grow in a destination locals can be proud of. Twenty-eight shipping container retail units, fifteen outdoor market stalls, seven bars and restaurants, and a live outdoor music and events space are designed for Ffos Caerffili to thrive both day and night. ‘Ffos’, the Welsh word for ‘moat’, connects the market to Caerphilly Castle, and re-establishes a link between the town and this amazing heritage asset. The market is positioned to encourage more people to wander into town and explore everything Caerphilly has to offer.
