For those Derbions who haven’t yet given up on eating healthier in 2026, we’ve got good news: the city’s monthly farmers’ market is about to expand.
Since its launch in January, the event has doubled in size, growing from an initial 22 stalls to 45 confirmed for the upcoming market on Sunday, March 29, with traders now also selling outside in Osnabruck Square.
Visitors to the next event will be able to explore a massive variety of high-quality goods, including fresh butchery and cheesemongers, baked goods, herbs and spices, gourmet mushrooms, liqueurs, sauces and honey. The line-up also includes chocolates, coffee, flowers, leather goods and locally crafted gifts.
Inside the Market Hall, Harlequin Morris will provide a lively backdrop of traditional folk music and dance, while Osnabruck Square will host performances from the popular Rock Choir alongside local vocalist and guitarist Steve Steeples.
In addition to the visiting market stalls, shoppers are encouraged to visit the Market Hall’s permanent traders. The venue’s street food dining area, cafes, and bars also remain open throughout the event, offering the perfect space for a weekend meal or a coffee while browsing the local produce.
Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council and Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, said: We’re thrilled to see the Farmers’ Market going from strength to strength in such a short space of time.
