Monthly Bakewell Farmers’ Market

26 February 2010

Generally held on the last Saturday of every month at the District Council’s Agricultural Business Centre (ABC), the multi-award-winning event is bursting through the economic gloom with record visitor figures.

The popular market is now attracting more than 5,000 visitors, many of the 70 stall holders are selling out before closing time – and there is a waiting list of more than 50 traders.

The ABC, which celebrated its 11th anniversary last year, is now not only widely recognised as home to one of the UK’s top five livestock markets – it has the second largest farmers’ market in the country, with only Winchester boasting a larger number of stall holders.

Plentiful parking is available at the ABC in Bakewell and future dates for the Farmers’ Market are 27 March, 24 April, 29 May, 26 June, 24 July and 28 August.
