Since September 1999, when twenty nervous stallholders manned their pitches on the edge of the (now vanished) cattle market, Cirencester has been lucky to have a regular farmers' market.
Elgin Farmers Market is held on the ‘plain-stones’ in the centre of Elgin. The market has a good selection of local vegetables and fruit, locally produced cheeses and Aberdeen Angus meat as well as bread and home-bakes. There are also local crafts and jewellery on show and in Spring and Autumn there is a continental market offering a taste of continental Europe.
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.
In 1285, Edward I granted the village of Shipbourne permission to hold a weekly market. In May 2003, with the help of a grant from Rural Revival, the Parochial Church Council re-inaugurated the market.
One of the oldest established farmers' market in London going strong on Chapel Market. Favourites include Perry Court Farm fruit and vegetables and Nigels’ Lettuce and Lovage range of salads, plants and herbs. Chegworth Valleys’ range of apple juice and fruit. Seasonal cut flowers from Grange Nursery, plus fresh pasta, milk and cream, cakes and bread, organic and free range meat, poultry and eggs, seasonal fish and much more.
Produce on sale includes fresh fruit and vegetables, much of which is locally sourced, and a wonderful delicatessen with cooked meats, pies and fresh sandwiches made to order. The café is famed locally for its freshly made homemade meals – real home cooked food – from Sunday roasts, to full English breakfasts. In the summer, the café offers outdoor seating.
