Christmas bookings for Bustler Derby, the street food and drink market in St James' Yard, for work socials, family get-togethers and nights out.
Bustler Derby is taking Christmas bookings from 25 November 2026 through to 10 January 2027, so if you're starting to think about the office social or a big family get-together, it's worth getting on the radar now. The whole thing is based in their covered, heated area at St James' Yard, which means you can keep the party going without worrying about the weather outside.
For those who haven't been, Bustler is a street food, drink and social hub that brings together a bunch of independent traders and entertainment under one roof. It's a proper mix: wood-fired pizza, smash burgers, fried chicken, loaded sandwiches and speciality coffee sit alongside craft beer, cocktails and wine. There's also independent retail in the mix, with books and streetwear. The current trader line-up includes El Capo's, Dirty Cow's, Gordo's, Super Turbo's, Replenish Collective, Dollies Cookies and Dukes, and a Buxton Brewery taproom, with shops like Bearded Badger Books and Anti Social Athletes Club. It's the kind of place where everyone can find something they actually fancy, rather than having to settle for a set menu.
There's a bit of a new chapter here, too. Bustler has moved to St James' Yard from its previous home at The Chocolate Factory, and it's expanding with private karaoke booths, private dining and interactive darts. The Christmas package is pitched as a flexible option for a work social, a family get-together or a night out with friends, and the entertainment changes depending on whether you're visiting during the day or in the evening.
