Tuesday Market: November Update

Wirksworth Tuesday Market will take place as usual on 3 November and throughout the forthcoming lock-down. We ask that shoppers support the market while observing the distancing regulations resulting from Covid-19.

As an added precaution from 3 November going forward, all stallholders and Town Council staff will wear face coverings and where needed there will be an increased number of stewards to help enforce the one-way system. We ask that people do not gather and chat in the market place, in order to assist the flow of pedestrian traffic and to help maintain social distancing.

In future weeks following the commencement of the national lockdown, only stalls offering essential goods will be permitted, in line with government regulations, it is hoped this will revert in December.
