A Charming Peak District Village

Located just 3.5 miles from Ashbourne in the heart of the Peak District, Tissington Village is steeped in history. The Tissington estate, privately owned by the FitzHerbert family since the 1460s, provides a beautiful backdrop for the market. The fair itself takes place in the Tissington Village Hall, conveniently situated across from the village duck pond. This historic building boasts a modern interior and Wi-Fi access, allowing many stallholders to accept card payments for your convenience.

A Welcoming Experience for All

Free entry makes the Tissington Craft Fair accessible to everyone.  Well-behaved dogs are also welcome to join the fun and meet the friendly makers. Accessibility is a priority, with alternative access available for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Disabled toilet facilities are also on site.
