Chesterfield Artisan Market has been a highlight on the town’s calendar for over 10 years and we have loved the support we have received from the local community.
Whilst the Market Place is getting a completely new look as part of the Town Centre Regeneration Project we are taking a little hiatus but we will be back bigger (loads more artisan traders and streetfood), brighter (a beautiful new market place) and more exciting than ever (packed with song, music and street entertainment) on 25th May 2025 and then the last Sunday of every month adjacent to the historic Market Hall (main market square).
Chesterfield is a market town and a borough of Derbyshire. It lies 24 miles north of Derby, on a confluence of the rivers Rother and Hipper. It has a population of 103,800, making it the largest town within the administrative borders of Derbyshire, and the second largest settlement in the traditional county after the the city of Derby.
The Artisan Market takes place once a month and consists of over 80 of the very finest artisan market traders.
Our selection process is exacting so you will find a high-quality range of authentic goods with an emphasis on all that is local, ethical and original. Our traders are all super-talented and we expect great things of them.
Whether it is something for dinner, a gift for a friend, a treat for someone special or simply stocking up on essentials that you can’t get elsewhere – Chesterfield Artisan Market is the place to visit. No matter what the weather rain or shine, the market will enliven your spirit, and combined with a scout around the shops and a wonder around this beautiful town; it’s a great day out!
