Wetherby is an ideal centre for exploring the many varied delights of Yorkshire. The town is an attractive market town with a Charter going back to 1240. It is situated on the A1 on the picturesque River Wharfe and is well worth exploring.
Local food markets may seem like quirky little ventures that are never going to make a difference. Surely they went out of fashion because supermarkets are more convenient – we’ll never turn that tide back so why bother? Well, at present most communities are helplessly dependant on ‘just in time’ deliveries of intensively farmed, overpackaged food flown half way round the globe before it gets to your plate. Once fuel scarcity and climate change start to impact on global productivity and prices, then energy-intensive food production and distribution will be less feasible, and it isn’t desirable now.
Ellon sits in rich agricultural land and is close to many visitor attractions including Haddo House built in 1732 and Pitmedden Garden. The market is held weekly at Neil Ross Square and offers top quality local food and produce from the surrounding area.
Bo’ness has had a central market square for many decades…and now has a regular monthly farmers’ and craft market on the first Thursday of each months. The market is supported by the local town centre management groups, as well as local business communities & civic groups.
here’s something for everyone here. Sterling Mills is a popular shopping location for bargain hunters. The bonus on the fourth Sunday of each month is the farmers’ market, organised by Forum Event Management, which brings together some of Scotland’s finest producers of beef, lamb, venison and smoked goods as well as vegetables, home baking, and a selection of craft items.
You'll find the market in front of the Town Hall on the first Saturday of every month. Around 40 stalls from around the region attend selling a wide range of locally produced food and drink.
