Derby Market Hall has launched a new booking process for those who are interested in having a temporary pop-up stall.

The revitalised Grade II listed building has undergone a significant £35.1m transformation, creating a vibrant hub in the heart of the city that brings together the best of the region’s independent shopping, eating, drinking, and entertainment under one stunning roof. 

The Market Hall was officially reopened on Saturday 24 May – drawing in over 34,500 visitors during its first three days – and hosted a week-long celebration packed with live music and family-friendly workshops. 

The pop-up barrows offer visitors an opportunity to enjoy something different each time they visit. With a central location, they offer a prime opportunity for traders to showcase their products in one of Derby’s most historic and iconic buildings. With rates starting at just £15 per day, these pop-up barrows have been carefully designed for Derby creatives to showcase their talent to visitors from across the region. 

Pop-up traders will not only benefit from the incredible footfall at the Market Hall, but they will be trading and selling their products under a new vision for the Market Hall and will a part of the new vision to offer something for everyone.

Carla Dee, owner of Love Lalaland, said:

I had such an awesome experience at the opening week at the Derby Market Hall. It was the perfect spot in the centre of Derby and the most stunning venue to showcase my work and meet so many wonderful people. The Market Hall team are always on hand to help, and most importantly, with a smile on their faces. I will definitely have a pop-up again in the near future.

Eve Ward, owner of Ivy Rose, said:

I absolutely loved my pop-up. The size of the barrow was perfect, and I found the cupboards underneath very handy.

Traders who are interested in booking a pop-up can apply through the Eventaly platform where they can also check availability and terms and conditions. 

In addition to pop-up stalls, Derby Market Hall is also recruiting permanent traders to join its diverse community. Since the reopening, Derby Market Hall has received 46 enquiries from prospective permanent traders. Businesses who are interested in having a permanent stall can submit their applications on the Derby Market Hall’s website. 

Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council and Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, said:

The revitalised Derby Market Hall is more than just a marketplace. We’re marking a new era for the historic Grade II listed building, and it has been transformed into a vibrant hub in the heart of the city which is marking a new era for the region’s independent shopping, dining, and entertainment. 

We have received such positive feedback from our pop-up and permanent traders since opening. This is an amazing opportunity for creatives from across the region to sell their products to a diverse range of visitors.
