The venue means people can make a day of it and amalgamate a spot of retail therapy at the market, with an afternoon soaking up culture at the Museum Of Making.

Apple Paddock Artisan Preserves are looking forward to trading at the event.

The family-run business comprises husband-and-wife team Imogen and Ashley Coverdale.

Speaking to Derby World, Imogen voiced her enthusiasm for the event.

She said: “It’s an opportunity to showcase our homemade artisan preserves, as well as encouraging people to shop local and support indie businesses.

“We moved from a city to South Derbyshire, so events like this form an important part of our integration in the local community.

“We love meeting new people, chatting to them and forging friendships, many customers become regulars and friends.”
