A popular market in Beeston has welcomed back its craft vendors for the first time since Covid. The Garage on High Street in Chilwell features over 40 different vendors offering food, coffee, local beers and cheeses.
The market runs every weekend in Barton's garage which used to be the headquarters for the transport company. The garage still houses some of the company's old buses which were often spotted around the city. The company ran local bus services and tours to seaside destinations even offering tours out to Europe before it closed in 1989.
Brothers, Richard, James and Tom Barton run the market and events at the location including street food nights, Bucharest-style ruin bars and pop-up cinemas. Their company, Barton Bros Ltd is a separate company from Barton's PLC and they are also responsible for organising the weekly markets.
