A two-day Christmas market weekend in the Peak District town of Bakewell, with over 100 stalls, brass bands and choirs.

Bakewell's Christmas market weekend brings over 100 stalls, gazebos and food trailers into the centre of the Peak District market town in mid-November. Expect festive gifts, seasonal food and drink, and live music from local brass and silver bands, choirs and a DJ.

It is free to attend, and the organisers suggest combining it with Bakewell's shops, delis, cafés and pubs. Some traders come from the town's Monday market.

Car and coach parking is available at the Agricultural Business Centre on Agricultural Way, as well as in and around the town centre.
