They are starting to introduce the special add-ons to the Saturday markets - Craft, Quirky and Vintage on the first Saturday each month, Food & Drink on the third. They will also be having a special Christmas Market on Saturday 3 December, and will stay open till 8pm, which will coincide with a Christmas Carnival Parade through the town and other seasonal festivities.

Thanks to support from the Bingham Trust charities, community groups and other not-for-profit organisations can take a stall for free. They do restrict this offer to two markets per year for each organisation. Obviously you can have stalls more frequently if you pay the standard market rate for them.

Normally they also have a restriction of only one free charity stall on each market, but in the run up to Christmas, on the 'Special add-on' market days, they are relaxing this. So if you'd like a stall to promote your organisation between now and the end of the year get in touch - admin@buxtonmarkets.co.uk

The seminars are supported by funding from Public Health at Derbyshire County Council and are free to those living or working in the county.
