Our Autumn Book & Craft Market will be held on Saturday 8th November, in a new venue this year: the newly reopened Market Hall in the centre of Derby.
The Market Hall also houses shops and food counters selling local produce, a bustling location for keen seasonal shoppers. In the run-up to Christmas, the Book & Craft Market will be showcasing a host of regional makers, illustrators and creatives selling book-related crafts. Alongside independent publishers, and of course Shared Reading and our Derby BookFestival book stall.
We hope to provide some great Christmas present ideas for the literary enthusiast and to all who come along on the day to this new busy city centre venue. Upstairs in the Ordish room we will be running a selection of drop-in workshops and activities - make sure you sign up to our newsletter to be the first to find out what is happening on the day and of course for all our Autumn Festival Events following between 14th-16th November.
There will be a Silent Book Club session with 'Derby Silent Book Club' so bring along your current book and take some time out to read in peace for a while with the opportunity to share with others afterwards. Derby Saxophone Quartet will also be doing performances of songs that come from films that were based on books. Plus the chance to pick up a programme and book your tickets for our Autumn 2025 events!
This event is free to the public, so make sure you save the date and pop on down to the Market Hall - open from 10am until 4pm.
