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.
Set in the picturesque village of Wye and nestled at the foot of the North Downs, Wye Farmers Market has been providing its local community with delicious, fresh, locally produced food for over ten years. With an enviable array of stalls selling everything from fresh bread, cakes, jams and chutneys to locally produced, organic meats, fresh fish and locally made cheeses we care passionately about our local food producers and work hard to bring you the very best of our counties larder.
The new market proved very popular with local people and is very well supported every Friday and Saturday. In 2019, the market expanded by adding a third trading day on Tuesday. The market consists of mainly fresh food items and hot food. Electricity points are available.
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.
The Wyken Vineyards Farmers’ Market is about farmers, producers, bakers, makers, friends and family. And to make life simpler it’s every Saturday morning, from 9 am. until 1pm.
The Highland Club at Fort Augustus Abbey proudly present the Abbey Food Market. This is a real ‘Taste of Scotland’ welcoming everyone to visit the abbey grounds to sample and purchase local products and produce.
Dartford Farmers' Market began in November 2005 at the request of Dartford Borough Council and has been running since then. The regularity of the Farmers Market has now been agreed by Dartford Borough Council as taking place on the 3rd Friday of each month.
