The company behind a major vintage and makers fair that tours Suffolk has announced all of the dates for the 2024 markets. 

Deben Events is set to run eight markets between April and October next year at both their regular sites in Woodbridge and Ipswich, as well as an additional weekend at the Bury St Edmunds Spring Fair. 

The market often has well over 50 stalls and sells a range of products from local sellers - including jewellery, antiques, woodwork, artwork and clothing. 

Bedford 45, the DJ booth on wheels, is a regular booking at the markets and provides a soundtrack for those browsing. 

Food and coffee vans are normally in attendance, and recent market-goers have enjoyed hot drinks from the Suffolk Coffee Pod and toasties from Otis Breading.

Entry is always free and dogs are welcome - there is even an award given to the 'dog of the day.'

The market dates for 2024 are:

  • April 14 at Suffolk Food Hall, Wherstead
  • May 12 at Elmhurst Park, Woodbridge
  • May 26 and 27 at Bury St Edmunds Spring Fair
  • June 30 at Suffolk Food Hall, Wherstead
  • July 28 at Elmhurst Park, Woodbridge
  • August 11 at Suffolk Food Hall, Wherstead
  • September 29 at Elmhurst Park, Woodbridge
  • October 13 at Suffolk Food Hall, Wherstead

The team at Deben Events is looking for sellers and will open applications for stallholders in January.
