Traders invited to book a market stall for Medieval Fun Day in Chesterfield

Bookings are now being taken to allocate market stalls at the forthcoming Medieval Fun Day on 25 July. The popular event will take place in Chesterfield town centre from 10am to 4pm and will include a range of entertainment for all the family.

Traders looking to book a market stall at this popular event are able to register online by completing this online form. Tuesdays are not a regular market day, so this event is in addition to Chesterfield Borough Council’s usual market schedule.

The council is encouraging a variety of stall holders to get in touch that sell a range of products including crafts, food, cakes and clothing amongst other things, as well as charities who would like to promote their organisations.

Councillor Kate Sarvent, cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “Chesterfield’s Medieval Fun Day is a real highlight on our events calendar and always draws large numbers of visitors into the town centre. Attending the fun day is your chance to step back in time and see a range of reenactors bringing the middle-ages to life. There will also be a fun fair, a variety of market stalls and activities for children provided by the museum team.

“This is a great opportunity for retailers to trade on a market stall, particularly if you are new to Chesterfield or haven’t had a stall for a while, this will be a great introduction to what it is like on an event day in the town centre.”

Organisations are also invited to get in touch using the email address below who may be interested in doing demonstrations such as willow weaving, hedgehog house building or any woodland arts and crafts.

The cost to book a market stall is £25 if you are a charitable organisation or £35 for other traders. To find out more information contact markets@chesterfield.gov.uk
