Willington to Host Floating Market ExtravaganzaGet ready for a unique shopping experience! The Roving Canal Traders Association's Floating Market is coming to Willington on the 9th and 10th of May, 2026. From 10am to 5pm each day, the towpath of the Trent and Mersey Canal, between bridges 22A and 23 (DE65 6BP), will be transformed into a vibrant marketplace.
A colourful array of narrowboats will be selling a variety of wares, from hand-made crafts and original artwork to vintage clothing and delicious culinary delights. Willington, with its rich history linked to the Trent and Mersey Canal – a vital artery of 18th-century trade – provides the perfect backdrop for this event.
Beyond the market, Willington boasts other attractions. Explore the historic village, visit the nearby Mercia Marina, or enjoy a scenic walk along the canal. Make a day of it!
Come along and enjoy the charm of a traditional canal market. We look forward to seeing you there!
