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.
Find out about opportunities for trading from a unit at Idlewells Indoor Market.

Our markets take place between 9am and 4pm on:
- Sutton outdoor market - Monday

- Hucknall outdoor market - Friday and Saturday
There are also a number of specialist or themed markets throughout the year including plant and craft fairs and our very popular Christmas festival markets in December.

Stalls are £12.60 per day for the first stall, with a reduction for second or more stalls.
