Free family market festival with food and live music coming to Leicestershire

The event hopes to bring the community together

Live music and food will be on offer at a free Leicestershire festival this weekend. The event is aimed at families and aims to bring a “spectacular day” of “fun, flavour and festivities”.

The Family Festival Market will take place at Newmarket, in Coalville’s Marlborough Square and will see a variety of activities taking place, including family-friendly games. The festival will feature live music, as well as “mouth-watering” food stalls which will serve up treats for all ages.

Newmarket are hosting the event as a “perfect send-off” to the summer in wake of the arrival of autumn. The day hopes to “celebrate community and connection” as well as “good old-fashioned fun”.

The market building, which replaced Coalville’s former Market Hall, has a variety of both permanent and casual traders which include The Handmade Brownie Company and Kool Guys Ice Cream. There is also a boutique “specialist” chocolatier, The House Of Cocoa.
