Wirksworth Town Council - Derbyshire

Wirksworth Sunday Christmas market will be showcasing the finest local producers and makers in Derbyshire. If you’re looking for Christmas presents or simply a browse and a bite to eat, it’s a great way to spend the day with the family. There will be a Santa’s Grotto in the Memorial Hall in support of Wirksworth Preschool, mulled wine, hot food and drinks and lots of festive cheer! Local shops will also be open.
