The Queen’s Park Farmers Market was set up in 2003 to complement the already well established Mansfield Park Farmers Market. Located off the Victoria Road entrance, the picturesque setting provides a wonderful backdrop for this flourishing market. Choices are countless with a superb array of fresh produce from over 25 stallholders, and the onsite entertainment completes the market experience.
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. Now running twice a month, and recognised by BBC Good Food Magazine as one of the best in the UK, the market brings together up to thirty producers offering specialities such as Ayrshire hill lamb, Limousin steaks and West Coast seafood. Cookery demonstrations by leading chefs such as Nick Nairn are a regular feature.
Markets are held every Wednesday of the year (except sometimes between Christmas and New Year) on Joss Lane town centre car park adjacent to the Information and Book Centre. The market plays an important role in the life of the town; it provides a focus (along with the coffee mornings in the Cornerstone Community Church Rooms on Joss Lane nearby, the Library on Main Street and a morning church service) for residents, especially from outlying districts, to meet, catch up and stock up.
Chester Town Hall comes alive the third Saturday of every month with the Taste of Cheshire Farmers Market. The outdoor market brings together about 30 Cheshire-based suppliers, giving visitors access to quality local produce
Kilsyth has a busy little high street and the farmers’ market has been a welcome addition to the events calendar.

This exciting array of fresh produce – from vegetables, fruits and juices to locally-reared meats and delicious artisan bakes and makes – is a wonderful start to the weekend. Stalls do sell out so arrive early to avoid disappointment.
