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.
The Food and Craft Market is located in The Pantiles, the historical centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It revives the tradition of an open air market staged at the venue several centuries ago and is held on the first and third full weekends of the month between the hours of 10am and 4pm.
A monthly showcase of food, drink, art and craft in Congleton town centre on the last Saturday monthly. The Makers Market is a superb opportunity to find out the origins of your food, meet the maker, feast your eyes upon some goodies and fill those shopping bags whilst indulging in some good old conversations with our team and traders. We hope you can join us!
Everyone talks about Farmers’ Markets as though they have always been about. In fact the movement is barely twenty years old and the Teme Valley Market was one of the originals.
At Balgove we take food very seriously and most certainly favour 'living to eat' over 'eating to live'; if you feel likewise then we'll get on very well.
The Market is a venture provided by the trustees of “Harkstead Farmers Market” and is managed and organised by a group of volunteers. They have a Market co-ordinator and a dedicated group who erect and dismantle the tables and provide the refreshments.
It is generally accepted by most farmers' markets that stall holders must have grown, bred, caught, pickled, brewed or baked the goods themselves. Their main emphasis is to help local producers and processors to sell their goods directly to the public, near their source of origin.
