Artisan Market – last Sunday of the month, 10am to 4pm 

Chesterfield Artisan Market takes place once a month with over 80 of the very finest artisan market traders.

You will find a high-quality range of authentic goods with an emphasis on all that’s local, ethical and original. Our traders are all super-talented and we expect great things of them.

Whether it is something for dinner, a gift for a friend, a treat for someone special or simply stocking up on essentials that you can’t get elsewhere – Chesterfield artisan market is the place to visit. No matter what the weather rain or shine, the market will enliven your spirit, and combined with a scout around the shops and a wander around this beautiful town, it’s a great day out!

Browse stalls, taste the culinary treats, talk to artists, vintage dealers and designer-makers, or sample the hot authentic street food whilst being entertained by local musicians.

The artisan traders will have been busy, baking, brewing, preparing, making, designing, distilling, sewing, stitching, stirring, cooking, sourcing, painting, growing and constructing.
