Going Out with a Bang: The Final Kegworth Market Trial of 2026

There is a fantastic momentum building in Kegworth. Over the past few months, the Taste of the Three Counties market trials have brought Sunday morning life, noise, and quality local food back into the heart of the village.

Now, we are heading into our fourth and final trial date of 2026—the Winter Preview Market on Sunday 1st November—and the whole village is coming together to go out with a bang!

This upcoming market is a huge moment for Kegworth. It’s the final event of our four trial dates, and it’s the big one. If you’ve loved seeing the Market Place buzzing again, this is the time to turn out and show your support. A strong turnout on 1st November proves just how much a proper Sunday market is wanted and helps pave the way for its return in 2027.
