Ashbourne Thursday Market

⚠️ ASHBOURNE THURSDAY MARKET – CANCELLED TOMORROW ⚠️

Unfortunately, we’ve made the decision to cancel tomorrow’s Ashbourne Thursday Market (Thursday 27th August) due to the forecasted heavy rain and risk of thunderstorms.

Following the recent hot and dry spells, the ground is extremely hard and dry. Heavy rainfall onto ground like this can struggle to soak away effectively, increasing the risk of surface water and localised flooding around the market area.

Combined with the risk of thunderstorms, we don’t feel it’s sensible or safe to go ahead.

It’s never a decision we like to make, especially with our traders preparing for the day, but the safety of our traders and visitors has to come first. We also wanted to make the call this evening rather than leave everyone waiting until the early hours of tomorrow morning.

We’ll be back on Shrovetide Walk next Thursday and hopefully with some much kinder weather! 🤞

Please share to help us spread the word. 💛

We’re absolutely LOVING being back on Shrovetide Walk! ❤️

After such a long time away, it’s been fantastic to see the market back where it belongs. The atmosphere, the footfall, the familiar faces, and everyone stopping to have a browse and a chat… it’s reminded us exactly why this market has been part of Ashbourne for so many years.

A huge thank you to everyone who has come down to support our amazing traders. Every purchase, every share, and every visit really does make a difference to our small independent businesses.

If you haven’t popped down yet, make sure you do over the coming weeks. There’s always a fantastic mix of local traders, handmade goods, gifts, fresh produce, sweet treats and plenty more to discover.

Here are just a few of the brilliant stalls that make Ashbourne Thursday Market what it is. ❤️
