Growing Derby Farmers’ Market expands outside for spring

The monthly Farmers’ Market at Derby Market Hall is set to expand outside into Osnabruck Square this month.

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 29th March.

Organised in collaboration with Derby Uncovered, the markets are designed to bring the community together in the heart of the city. Shoppers can expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere filled with fresh seasonal produce, artisanal foods, and unique flavours that highlight the rich agricultural heritage of the region.

Visitors at 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.
