Derby Market Hall is preparing to welcome back food lovers from across the
region as its monthly Farmers’ Market returns on Sunday 22 February.
After a hugely successful debut in January that attracted thousands of visitors, the
event is set to once again showcase an outstanding selection of local growers,
makers and independent food businesses.
Organised in collaboration with Derby Market Hall, the event is all about bringing
people together to enjoy the best of local food and drink. Visitors can again
expect a friendly, lively atmosphere, with stalls offering high-quality produce,
handcrafted treats and a wide variety of flavours that highlight the talent and
creativity of traders from our local region.
The February market will feature various new stallholders alongside returning
favourites, giving shoppers even more to explore and discover.
The event has been welcomed by the Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID).
Brad Worley, manager for the Cathedral Quarter BID, said: “We are so happy to see the
Farmers Market arrive at the Market Hall. After it opened to the public in May, it is great to
see it being used to hold these events.”
A brand- new Tasting Passport experience will also be launched, with 250 passports
available on a first-come, first served basis, that will allow the recipients to follow a tasting
trail around the market and enjoy complimentary samples from participating traders.
Completed passports can then be entered into a prize draw to win a £50 Derby Market Hall
voucher. The passports will be available to claim at Snap & Chat Connect on the Market Hall
Balcony and can be handed in at Vintage and Vinyl, also located on the balcony.
The market will also be holding a raffle on the day for a special Farmers’ Market
Goodie Box filled with delicious products donated by traders, giving visitors
another chance to take home a selection of locally produced treats with all
proceeds from the raffle going to the Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance.
