New Artisan Craft Fair & Market
Aberdare Market • May 11, 2025
A new Artisan Craft Fair & Market is coming to the Market Quarter
We are delighted to announce that the Market Quarter has teamed up with Crafty Legs Events to bring a brand new monthly craft fair and market to Aberdare.
This will be located on the Market Yard and will operate on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 10.00am-4.00pm.
This new craft fair and market will launch on Saturday 17th May.
We have taken this initiative to create an improved shopping experience for the town centre and we hope that many people will come along to support it.
Recent Trader Changes and New Businesses Since the beginning of the year we have seen some exciting changes at the Market Quarter. Anne's Home & Body has expanded and relocated from the Market Hall to the Market Arcade along with the No.33 Craft ladies. We wish them both every success as they continue to develop their businesses. Also, we welcome 1 Stop Fire & Stove Shop - a new business to our Market Street area - with their fantastic room-setting displays of fireplaces and woodburning stoves. The Community Hub is relocating to its original position directly inside the main entrance to the Market Hall. And finally, coming soon to the Market Arcade is a new fashion business, opening at the end of April. This means several smaller stalls in the Market Hall are now available for let. These have been fully refurbished and are ready for new business opportunities. For details, please contact the Market Office directly (see details below).
