Become a market trader
Have you ever thought that a market stall could be a low risk entry into a career in retailing?
We have 2 types of market: outdoor in the 3 major areas of Sutton in Ashfield, Kirkby in Ashfield and Hucknall, and an indoor market hall within the Idlewells Shopping Centre in Sutton in Ashfield.

There are also a number of specialist or themed markets throughout the year, including plant and craft fairs and our very popular Food and Drink Festival in August and Christmas festival markets in December.
