Since its first ever market on April 23, 1875, Hucknall Market has been a source of pride for the community, fostering local trade and bringing people together.
To mark this historic occasion, a larger-than-usual market took place alongside the regular Saturday market, featuring a host of additional market traders as well as attractions and family entertainment in the area outside Hucknall Parish Church.
Among the special visitors were stalls from Ashfield Food & Drink Festival, live music, historical exhibits, children’s entertainment, including Punch & Judy, Hucknall Flight Test Museum, Hucknall Rotary Club and Hucknall Fire Station.
There were also visitors and stalls from outside of Hucknall and Ashfield who came especially for the day.
