Derby Farmers' Market

Derby Farmers' Market is back at Derby Market Hall on Sunday 20 December, one of its winter dates. It's a regular market run in partnership with Derby Uncovered, bringing together local growers, producers and independent food traders to share the best of the region. It launched in January 2026 and has been a firm favourite with shoppers since, so by the time December rolls around, it's well-established as a go-to for local produce.

The market takes place inside Derby Market Hall on Tenant Street, Market Place, DE1 2DB. The hall itself is a Victorian heritage building in the heart of the city, currently approaching its 160th anniversary, and the market is framed as a modern twist on that heritage. It's not just about the stalls, either; the evening editions add a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with a bar serving food and drink, live music and a street food dining area alongside the hall's permanent local traders. Councillor Gurkiran Kaur, Derby City Council Cabinet Member for City Centre, Culture and Tourism, says the evening events create a space for people to wind down after work.

This particular date is part of the winter run, which includes 29 November and 19-20 December. For context, the market has run throughout the year: the first edition was Sunday 25 January, followed by regular Sundays on 22 February, 29 March, 26 April, 24 May, 28 June, 26 July, 30 August and 27 September, all from 10am to 3pm. There were also summer evening editions on Friday 19 June, Friday 17 July and Friday 21 August, running from 3pm to 9pm. If you're driving in, you can get discounted all-day parking for £2.70 at Chapel Street Car Park, validated at the Derbyshire's Own stall.
