Bakewell Visitor Centre is fully accessible and ideally placed to welcome you to Bakewell and the 'White Peak' when you arrive. The centre is located in the atmospheric 17th century Old Market Hall. The centre was recently refurbished in November 2020 to provide an improved open retail and easy access space.
Mezzanine Floor
The gallery area, located upstairs on the mezzanine floor, presents a visual celebration of the Peak District National Park. Take a moment to learn more about the special qualities of the national park through our digital interpretation touchscreen display and gallery. While supporting local photographers and artists with display and sale of their work it highlights the beautiful scenes and wildlife the National Park offers and gives visitors the opportunity to experience the wonderful, dramatic landscapes of this inspiring part of the UK.
