Within Derby Market Hall you will find the following sections:
Derby Fruit Market – A wide selection of fresh fruit and vegetables are sold daily within the hall giving the supermarkets a run for their money on price and quality.
Derby Fish Market – At the fish market in Derby Market Hall you will find a great selection of local and national fresh fish from the traditional haddock or sea-bass to some harder to come by items such as Whitby crab.
