BAKEWELL EVENT CALENDAR 2019
BAKEWELL - 'ancient capital of the Peak...'
Set in an enviable location on the banks of the Wye, with the river meandering gently through the centre, this beautiful old market town is in the heart of the Peak District, surrounded by stunning countryside views. Famous for its Puddings, Annual events, the historic Monday market and the Bakewell Farmers market which is held on the last Saturday of every month, there is a thriving livestock market. Visitors flock to shop in the independent shops and explore the town’s nooks and crannies, to admire the fine stone Derbyshire buildings, or just to relax by the clear, sparkling waters of the River Wye.
Modern Bakewell has something for everyone, and everything for someone, from its many historic buildings and its wonderful riverside walks along the banks of the Wye, to its award-winning newly designed and recently revamped town centre with shopping arcades and numerous emporiums of excellence.
