Oakham Town Partnership runs the Oakham Farmers’ Market in Gaol Street once a month on the Third Saturday of each month. The Farmers Market is very popular with both residents and visitors.
The Markets Promotion Group in Wigtown is running weekly farmers markets, from Easter till October. The Wigtown market has grown rapidly in size and now has an average of 26 stalls every week, including fresh meat, fruit and vegetables as well as jewellery, clothes, music and books. For visitors, the Market provides an excellent opportunity to visit Scotland’s National Book Town and do your weekly organic shopping at the same time.
The Year 2000 heralded the start of a monthly Farmers Market in Brigg, since when it has gone from strength to strength. Held on the fourth Saturday in each month, and located in the Town Centre, this is the opportunity to purchase locally grown produce direct from the supplier, such as vegetables, meat, poultry (including ostrich), eggs, cheese, ice cream, and preserves, to name but a few.
Following a successful partnership last year, we are pleased to confirm that we are once again teaming up with the Northern Dales Farmers’ Market. They will be bringing more than 30 handpicked local food producers to the Spence Courtyard in the museum.
This is one of the most atmospheric markets in Scotland. Cooking demonstrations, free tastings and live music all add to the enjoyment of this busy market with up to twenty five stall-holders. Produce comes from artisan farms that concentrate on quality, tradition and flavour, such as Jock’s Tattie Shed, Ballencrieff Pedigree Pigs, Monarch Deer Farm and Scots Cheer Fruit Liqueurs. Just half an hour’s drive from Edinburgh and a trip to the market would be an added treat to a day out in East Lothian.
This is a big farmers’ market is located in County Square, next to Gilmour Street station, so just ten minutes by train from Glasgow’s Central Station.

Cookery demonstrations by leading chefs such as Nick Nairn are a regular feature.
