Latest wave of traders announced for revamped Market Hall

Derby City Council has revealed another wave of traders who are set to move into the revitalised Derby Market Hall.

Following a £35.1 million restoration, the historic Grade II-listed building will reopen its doors to the public on Saturday 24 May.

It will feature a curated mix of traditional and contemporary traders, creating a vibrant hub in the heart of the city and blending its rich history with a modern experience.

The newest announcement of traders aims to offer something for everyone, with the continuation of international flavours and diverse menus for all visitors.

Among the latest batch are Preloved, a non-profit, volunteer-run boutique selling high-quality preloved clothing, which is the brainchild of YMCA Derbyshire Group.

All proceeds from Preloved will go towards funding vital services and will help the YMCA contribute to its vision and mission of supporting young people and communities who are most in need.

Award-winning local winery, distillers and bar operators Darley Abbey Wines will be operating two units at Derby Market Hall.

Known for its first gin, The Uncommon Thread, and a recent win as Best Bar at the 2023 Marketing Derby Food & Drink Awards, Darley Abbey Wines continues to blend local heritage with a modern flair.

The Spirit Run will be the first distillery bar in the heart of Derby city centre, producing small-batch spirits for customers to sample and enjoy on-site at Derby Market Hall, while Market Porter will offer a diverse selection of beers, hand-picked wines, premium spirits and more.

New food outlets include Arepita, Potful of Crumble, Tikka Tales and Bethel Kitchen.

Councillor Nadine Peatfield, leader of Derby City Council and cabinet member for city centre, regeneration, strategy and policy, said: “I’m delighted to announce our final wave of traders who will be operating in the Market Hall when it reopens to the public on Saturday 24 May.

“The new traders each bring something unique and special to Derby and the historic Market Hall.

“We are bringing together the best of the region’s independent shopping, eating, drinking, and entertainment.

“I’m excited for the reopening and for visitors from across the region and beyond to experience everything that our traders have to offer.

“The Market Hall will once again be Derby’s beating heart where people choose to come together to shop, eat, and enjoy the buzz of the city. I am certain that it will be a huge success.”
