- **Event Name**: Whalley Monthly Artisan Market
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Whalley Artisan Market 2026 – Last Sunday of Every Month

The Whalley Artisan Market returns in 2026, taking place on the last Sunday of every month, and continuing its reputation as one of the Ribble Valley’s most established and well loved artisan markets.

Held in Whalley, this monthly market brings together a carefully curated line up of independent makers, artists, designers and food producers. Expect quality over quantity, with a strong focus on genuine craft, small batch production and traders who care about what they make.

Browse stalls filled with handmade ceramics, textiles, jewellery, homeware, artwork, artisan food and drink. Alongside the makers, you’ll find street food traders serving freshly prepared dishes, plus a relaxed soundtrack from DJs and musicians that gives the market its easy, social feel.

The market is dog friendly and family friendly, and sits naturally within Whalley’s thriving village centre. Many visitors combine the market with a visit to local cafés, pubs, restaurants and independent shops, making it a proper day out rather than a quick browse.

Taking place every last Sunday of the month throughout 2026, the Whalley Artisan Market is about more than shopping. It’s about supporting local businesses, discovering new talent, and enjoying one of Lancashire’s most picturesque villages.

Get involved: makers, creators and start ups

The Whalley Artisan Market is an ideal platform for **makers, creators and start ups** looking to test an idea, launch a new product, or build confidence trading in a busy, supportive environment.

We actively welcome:

• Small businesses looking for consistent monthly exposure
• Start ups ready to trade in front of a genuine audience

This is a market with strong footfall, repeat visitors and a loyal following, making it a great place to grow organically and connect directly with customers.

Artists, performers and workshop hosts wanted

We are also keen to hear from **artists, musicians, DJs and workshop hosts** who would like to be part of the Whalley Artisan Market experience in 2026.

If you run creative workshops, live demonstrations, interactive sessions or performances that fit a relaxed village market setting, we’d love to hear from you. The aim is to add layers of creativity, culture and hands on experiences that enhance the day for visitors and traders alike.
