Farmers’ Market 2016 DATES

Generally held on the last Saturday of the month from 9am to 2pm - our multi-award

winning Farmers’ Market is now the second largest in the UK. Stalls under cover at the

Agricultural Business Centre, with plentiful parking.

D erbyshire Dales District Council's Agricultural Busi-

ness Centre (ABC) is home to the multi award-

winning Bakewell Farmers’ Market. It is the second

largest farmers’ market in the country and a success story

for the District Council.

When the Farmers’ Markets in Bakewell started in 2000,

there were just 28 producers. This number has expanded

gradually over the years to more than 75 stalls today,

located mostly indoors at the fabulous ABC.

The atmosphere is first class and the spinoff is that local

hotels and businesses in and around Bakewell reap the

benefits of the trade generated by the Farmers' Markets.

We are dedicated to encouraging and maintaining

environmental sustainability, so most stallholders come

from within a 30 mile radius of Bakewell, though some

speciality producers are allowed to attend from up to 100

miles away.

While there are some crafts, most of the stalls are

dedicated to tasty local-produced food and drink.
