Farmers’ Market 2018 DATES

Generally held on the last Saturday of the month from 9am to 2pm - our Farmers’ Market is one of the largest in the UK. Stalls under cover at the Agricultural

Business Centre, with plentiful parking.

Derbyshire Dales District Council's Agricultural Business Centre (ABC) is home to the popular Bakewell Farmers’ Market. It is one of the largest farmers’ markets 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. 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 locally-produced food and drink.

Set in the heart of Bakewell, amid the rolling hills of the Derbyshire Dales, the Agricultural Business Centre (ABC) is an ideal venue for meetings, conferences, seminars and training workshops. With livestock markets every Monday, together with additional monthly sales, the ABC is very much a working environment. On these days, the place bustles with activity and this can form an interesting backdrop to a variety of events. Visitors can view the bidding for cattle from special galleries above the main auction rings or observe the selling of smaller livestock under the unique marquee-effect roof of the sheep and calf penning areas.

THE CONFERENCE ROOM can seat up to 60 people cabaret style or 100 theatre style and is ideal for conferences, large meetings, promotional events, training workshops and lectures.

THE MEETING ROOM can seat 20 people boardroom style. It’s ideal for inter-departmental meetings, small seminars, job interviews and training workshops.

THE CONCOURSE is also available for hire and provides an exciting and expansive space for a multitude of events.

On livestock market days small areas of the Concourse can be hired to display agri-cultural products and equipment.
