What the ticket includes
Booking before the first sitting

A glass of fizz on arrival, a transformed dining space and a guest chef menu are at the centre of a new Saturday Supper Club at Derby Market Hall.

The dining event begins on Saturday 4 July and is scheduled to run across six Saturday dates until Saturday 24 October. It takes place at Derby Market Hall in Derby, inside the Grade II-listed building. Tickets cost £36 per person. The start time has not been listed in the source information.

The event is aimed at food lovers who want a smaller, chef-led dining experience rather than a standard restaurant booking. Derby City Council said tickets are available through the Derby Market Hall website.

Six Saturday dates at Derby Market Hall

The Saturday Supper Club at Derby Market Hall is a limited series, with events scheduled for Saturday 4 July, Saturday 1 August, Saturday 29 August, Saturday 19 September, Saturday 3 October and Saturday 24 October.

The format is built around a rotating lineup of local guest chefs. Each event will have a bespoke three-course menu created for that month’s supper club, with ingredients sourced as locally as possible according to the source information.

Guest chefs and changing menus

The events are hosted by Mark’s Wilder Gardens. Owner Mark Cummings said the idea came from supper clubs he had experienced in London, where a smaller setting, a surprise menu and shared tables created a different kind of dining night.

For the opening event on Saturday 4 July, Derby Market Hall’s Arepita will take over the kitchen with an exclusive fully gluten-free menu of authentic Venezuelan dishes. The source says the menu is tailored for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.

The wider programme will change from date to date as different local guest chefs take part. Guests will receive a glass of fizz on arrival before the three-course meal, followed by a choice of fine tea or freshly brewed coffee.

A selection of red and white wine pairings chosen by The Spirit Run will also be available to buy during the evening. Those pairings are not included in the stated £36 ticket price.

What the ticket includes

The £36 ticket includes the arrival drink, the three-course meal and tea or coffee to finish. The source also says vegan and vegetarian options can be accommodated with advance notice.

No start time has been provided in the published event information, so diners should check the ticket page before making plans. The source does not list additional travel, parking or step-free access details for this event.

The setting is part of the draw. Derby Market Hall has reopened with a mix of independent businesses and events, and the supper club places the dining experience inside the Market Hall’s Grade II-listed building rather than a conventional restaurant room.

Councillor Gurkiran Kaur, Derby City Council Cabinet Member for City Centre, Culture and Tourism, said the Saturday Supper Club is one of the creative experiences helping bring people into the city centre and support local traders.

Booking before the first sitting

The next event is Saturday 4 July, with later dates listed for 1 August, 29 August, 19 September, 3 October and 24 October.

Tickets cost £36 per person and are available through the Derby Market Hall website. Diners needing vegan or vegetarian options should give advance notice, and anyone attending the first Arepita event can expect a fully gluten-free Venezuelan menu designed for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance.
