Derby Farmers Market, Derby Market Place

This is a view of a Farmers Market taking place in the Market Place in the City of Derby. The Market Place would have provided the sustenance for the local farmers and traders.

Towns grew up around the site of regular markets, which were usually held on one or two days each week, or on special feasts and festivals. Many of today's thriving communities owe their existence to the market in their midst.

Now in the 21st Century, the Market Place is used for other purposes but specialist Farmers Markets are held every third Thursday in each month throughout the year on the Market Place in Derby.
