Trading on Chesterfield market
Chesterfield Market is currently undergoing a multi-million pound transformation that will revitalise and better connect key areas of the historic town centre.
Plans include a new layout to make it easier to walk around our historic market, new stalls with modern facilities for traders, and vibrant new market stall canopies in heritage colours. All town centre businesses and market stalls will be open as usual during the regeneration work.
Chesterfield market has been trading for over 800 years and we are always happy to welcome new traders.
We run a variety of markets throughout the year from regular weekly general markets, speciality events, and young persons' market to the medieval fun day each summer.
You can trade casually on our general market with no commitment, or apply for a licence and trade from the same stall every week, it's up to you. See our information for market traders below.
