Autumn Book & Craft Market 2026

We hope to provide some great Christmas present ideas for the literary enthusiast and to all who come along on the day to this busy city centre venue.

Our Book & Craft Market will be held on Saturday 7th November, in Derby Market Hall from 10:30am until 4pm. The Market Hall also houses shops and food counters selling local produce. This event is free to the public, providing a bustling location for catching seasonal shoppers.

If you are a maker of book-inspired crafts and interested in taking a stall or would like to find out more details, please let us know by completing the form below or emailing ally@derbybookfestival.co.uk by Friday 21st August with a brief description about you and your book-related crafts.

Please note we will only have limited spaces for invited authors and publishers to sell their books.
