Denny Abbey Makers Market: who enters free on 31 August
Denny Abbey and The Farmland Museum Makers Market will bring local crafts, handmade gifts and artisanal food to the Cambridge venue on Monday, 31 August 2026. The Bank Holiday event runs from 10am to 4pm and is open to the general public.
Admission is free for Farmland Museum Annual Pass holders, English Heritage members and National Art Pass holders. Normal museum admission prices apply to everyone else, according to the Visit Cambridge Events listing. Individual ticket prices and advance-booking arrangements are not included in the source.
Handmade finds across the heritage grounds
Visitors will be able to stroll through the grounds of The Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey while browsing work from local artisans, crafters and makers.
The confirmed selection includes bespoke jewellery, homeware, one-of-a-kind gifts and artisanal food. It gives visitors several reasons to browse, whether they are looking for a locally made present, something for the home or food produced by one of the attending makers.
The setting is also part of the day: the market takes place within the grounds of a heritage site rather than at a standalone shopping venue. Visitors can combine time among the stalls with exploring Denny Abbey and The Farmland Museum. Food and treats will be available from the Docky Box Café, providing another option during the six-hour event.
When and where to attend
The market will be held at The Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey, Ely Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB25 9PQ. Both the event and the museum are scheduled to operate from 10am until 4pm on 31 August.
The listing confirms that on-site parking is available. It does not provide further transport or arrival guidance, so visitors should use the full venue address when planning their journey.
Assistance dogs are welcome, and designated wheelchair-accessible public toilet facilities are available for disabled guests. No other accessibility arrangements are specified in the supplied event information.
Admission details to check before setting out
Eligible annual pass and membership holders can enter free of charge. This applies to holders of a Farmland Museum Annual Pass, English Heritage membership or National Art Pass. Visitors planning to use this concession should bring evidence of a valid pass or membership.
Everyone else will need to pay the museum’s normal admission prices. Because the Visit Cambridge Events listing does not state the individual charges or explain whether advance booking is available, non-members should check the linked event information before travelling if the precise cost or entry process will affect their plans.
The confirmed practical details are 10am to 4pm on Monday, 31 August 2026, at The Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey, Ely Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire CB25 9PQ, with on-site parking listed.
