The Denny Abbey and The Farmland Museum Makers Market will run from 10am to 4pm on 31 August 2026 at The Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey, Ely Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB25 9PQ.

Entry is free for Farmland Museum Annual Pass Holders, English Heritage Members and National Art Pass Holders. Normal admission prices apply to everyone else. The Bank Holiday event is open to the general public and is likely to be of particular interest to visitors looking for locally made crafts, distinctive gifts, artisanal food and a heritage-site day out.

According to the Visit Cambridge Events listing, the market will bring local artisans, crafters and makers together within the venue’s grounds.

At a glance

Handcrafted finds across the abbey grounds

Visitors will be able to browse work by local makers while walking through the grounds of Denny Abbey and the Farmland Museum. The confirmed selection ranges from bespoke jewellery and homeware to artisanal food and one-of-a-kind gifts.

That mix leaves room for several kinds of visit. Shoppers can look for a particular handmade piece, search for a gift or simply see what independent producers have brought to the market. Buying from a stall will also support one of the small businesses taking part.

Because the event takes place in the abbey and museum grounds, the stalls form part of a wider visit rather than a separate shopping stop. Visitors can move between the makers’ displays and the heritage setting during the venue’s opening hours.

Combining the market with the heritage site

The Farmland Museum will be open for the same 10am-to-4pm period, giving visitors the option of combining the market with time exploring the heritage site. The Visit Cambridge listing also confirms that the Docky Box Café will serve treats during the day.

This format may suit people visiting primarily for the market as well as those who want the craft stalls to form part of a longer Bank Holiday outing. No separate programme or timetable for individual market activities is included in the published information, so visitors should plan around the confirmed overall opening period.

Admission, parking and accessible facilities

Visitors relying on free entry should bring the relevant Farmland Museum Annual Pass, English Heritage membership or National Art Pass. Other visitors will pay the venue’s normal admission prices; the listing does not state the amount or provide separate booking instructions.

On-site parking is available. Confirmed accessibility facilities include admission for assistance dogs and designated wheelchair-accessible public toilets for disabled guests. The published event details do not provide further transport or accessibility information, so anyone with specific requirements should check the Visit Cambridge Events listing before travelling.
