The popular Ay-Up Market will return to Nottingham city centre for its third year this April, it’s been confirmed – and promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Last year’s market in Old Market Square saw more than 60 vendors trade a variety of goods, from food and drink to arts and crafts.

This year’s celebration of independent Nottingham traders will take place in Old Market Square from Friday, April 26 to Sunday, April 28. 

The event, which is free to attend, also brings together a range of community groups and creatives from across Nottingham, to showcase their art, dance, and music to a large audience.

Shoppers can expect the event to showcase a curated market of independent Nottinghamshire based traders and street food, including a licensed bar.

Last year, traders generated more than £90,000 as around 140,000 people visited the city centre.
