Since 2016, Buxton Market has been proudly run by the community, for the community. After a successful bid by Buxton Town Team, the market became managed by Buxton Markets CIC, a volunteer-led, not-for-profit company dedicated to keeping this historic market thriving in the heart of the town.
The team welcomes enquiries from local traders.
