The Award Winning Ruthin Artisan Markets is back for 2023, kicking off in style on April 30th at Ruthin Gaol with the first of their bi-annual Food & Drink Festivals. Showcasing the very best in local food and drink produce, as well as arts and crafts, Ruthin Artisan Markets is proud of the community of traders it's built up over the past 3 years and our wonderful customers who come and visit to see those amazing people and their products and for the first time since we started way back in 2020, Ruthin Gaol will finally be open to the public, a very exciting time indeed!

Entry to the market is free though we do collect donations, these are not compulsory and we understand that there is a cost of living crisis so we will never pressure anyone into donating. Donations go towards a renovation project at Ruthin Gaol of the Munitions Shed.

Dogs are very welcome.

There is 1-2 Disabled badge parking spaces just ask at the gate and we will direct you. The grounds of the gaol, if following the one way system, are step free and flat, though there are some cobbles and after bad weather there can be patches of mud so we recommend you wear well gripped shoes if you have mobility issues.
