Peddler turns up the volume and adds 3 additional official stages to the monthly Night Market. – Peddler began as a food-first gathering with a couple of music stages attached and is now evolving into something bigger: a free entry, five-stage monthly music festival spread across its familiar Kelham Island home, with live bands, DJs, record shops and local promoters taking centre stage.

Food isn’t going anywhere – far from it – but 12 years on Peddler is already synonymous with the best UK street food, so it’s time to highlight the musical talent on-site. We’ve always been a street food event with two music stages, now we’re excited to bring five stages, working with some of the best up and coming and well established promoters in and across the city. The changing music line up will help you ‘save the date’ making each month unmissable.

The first edition of the reformatted Peddler lands on the usual first Friday & Saturday of the month 5-6 June and promises a sprawling, multi-space experience inspired as much by classic city festivals as warehouse parties and independent culture.
