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.
The market is held on the first Saturday of every month in the 400 year old market square in the centre of this ancient town. Starting with a few tentative trial markets in 2001, the market became a monthly fixture of the town in October 2002 and is still as popular as ever!
This new indoor market has solely local producers attending each month, giving a wide variety of produce including, meat, cheese, fish, wine, beer, honeys and home baking. Well worth a visit especially on rainy days.

Farmers Market produces includes local beef, pork, lamb, Lancashire haggis, black puddings, cheeses, pies, flowers, fruit and veg, homemade chocolates, wine, cakes and much more. All undercover and free parking.
