Chesterfield Crafters Bazaar is back for 2025
Crafters can sell their surplus material and craft enthusiasts can find bargains at a specialist bazaar which is returning to Chesterfield town centre for its fourth year.
Artists and crafters will be putting unwanted items including tools, magazines and books up for sale in the Market Square on August 24, from 10am to 4pm.
Creative people often build up a large stash of materials so need to declutter or refresh their new stock. The aim of Chesterfield Crafters Bazaar is to keep the materials in circulation and stop them going to landfill.
The bazaar is organised by Transition Chesterfield, a voluntary community group set up in 2008 with the aim of helping Chesterfield to become more resilient, sustainable, low carbon and locally self sufficient.
Stalls for Chesterfield Crafters Bazaar cost £15, to book email: [email protected].
