Fresh produce galore as May sees a double market day for Matlock

Published: 9 May 2023

Residents who love to buy fresh produce will be spoilt for choice with 2 markets being held on the same day in Matlock later this month.


We are holding our first producers’ market at County Hall on Wednesday 24 May from 10am to 2pm, which will coincide with the town’s regular Wednesday market down the hill at Hall Leys Park.

People in search of fresh produce and handmade goods are being encouraged to come to Matlock and visit both markets and fill their baskets full of the best produce the county has to offer as well as meeting the producers themselves.

There’s also still time for farmers and producers to register for a free stall at the event at County Hall, and anyone who is interested should email cllr.administration@derbyshire.gov.uk by Monday 15 May.

The County Hall event is being held on the same day as our annual general meeting, so County Hall will be extremely busy and full of potential customers for producers to sell to.

Visitors to the producers’ market will be able to park for free in our main car park off Bank Road, and entry to the event is free.

Derbyshire County Council Leader Councillor Barry Lewis said:

“We are huge advocates of Derbyshire’s fantastic and varied local produce and are always keen to promote and support our local farmers, producers and artisans.

“Our Producers’ Market will be a great opportunity for producers to showcase and sell their products for free to a countywide audience and attract some new customers too.

“With the town’s regular market also taking place on the same day, it’s a great day to head to Matlock with your shopping bags and fill up on the finest goods our amazing Derbyshire producers and farmers have to offer.

“I hope people will support our first Producers’ Market as well as continue to support Matlock’s regular market at Hall Leys Park. We look forward to welcoming producers and customers on the day.”

Producers wanting to secure a table at the producers’ market at County Hall are asked to email cllr.administration@derbyshire.gov.uk by Monday 15 May.

People should also email any queries about the event to the same email address.
