Amber Valley has enjoyed its markets since 1251 AD when Henry III bestowed a market charter on the 'lands of the manors of Rypeleg, Pentriz and Wystantun in the County of Derby' permitting the holding of a weekly market and annual fair. Since then the market tradition has flourished within Amber Valley.
