Derby Market Hall was opened in 1866 having taken 2 years to build. It is a fine example of Victorian building, and at the time of its opening housed 180 stalls on the ground floor and the Balcony.
Over the last 140 years the Hall has seen two major refurbishments, one in the late 1930's and the other in 1989 which restored the Hall to its original splendour.
Today's Market Hall is a major attraction to the City and brings in visitors and shoppers from throughout this country.
With traders who for generations have served the citizens of Derby and built up close links with their customers are the new generation of traders bringing their own modern goods and ideas to the Hall.
Separate fish and poultry sections and a large number of meat and fruit and vegetable traders ensure that the Hall gives the Supermarkets a run for their money. Produce is fresh daily and many an office worker can find their lunches in the café's and stalls in the Hall.
The Market Hall has adapted to the needs of the population, and together with newsagents, confectionary and clothing stalls there has been the growth of service stalls, such as key cutting, shoe repair, hairdressing, nail bar, and advice centres.
Traders believe that the Hall is more than adequately equipped to evolve as the public becomes more demanding over the next decades, and that they the traders will rise to the challenge.
There are craft stalls available to let on a daily basis on the balcony with goods such as hand made items and antiques and bric-a-brac for sale.
