❗️Please Read: Cancelled❗️
With apologies, due to adverse weather conditions expected on Saturday 4th October, Bolsover Artisan Market has been cancelled. Commiserations to the organisers and all those affected, it would have been a super event!

We are still due to take part in their Christmas market on the 29th November, with an indoor pitch ☺️

⚠️ OCTOBER MARKET CANCELLED ⚠️

With Storm Amy bringing forecast winds of up to 56mph, we’ve had no choice but to cancel this Saturday’s Bolsover Artisan Food & Craft Market. The safety of our visitors, stallholders, and volunteers has to come first – and nobody wants to be dodging flying gazebos down Cotton Street!

Today was the cut-off to let our traders know before they begin preparing stock, so it’s the right (if very difficult) call to make.

Please stay safe, batten down the hatches, and maybe keep your washing in unless you fancy sharing it with the neighbours. We’ll be back with more markets soon – thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Not long now!

Just three days to go until Bolsover is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the Artisan Market.
Food, drink, handmade crafts, live music, and festive finds. It’s all waiting for you this Saturday, 10am–3pm.

The talk famous in it's own right. Another venue has joined the ever lengthening list and requested "get knotted" to be delivered at their event.

If you have missed out, you are joining us for the first time or wish rejoin, come and enjoy the talk at Elmswell this weekend

Alongside the talk Mystic Dragon Ceremonies will also have a stall by the cafe where all your celebrant needs can be discussed.

Hopefully see you all
