In 2009 the Parish Council undertook a questionnaire to form the basis of a Parish Plan for the community. The plan identified, amongst other things a request for a Farmers Market to provide an outlet for local producers and a way of purchasing fresh, quality produce direct from the producer.
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.
The Farmers' Market is held on the third Saturday of every month, in the Memorial Hall in Brough (Brough-under-Stainmore to give it it's full name), Cumbria. It is almost unique among Farmers' markets in that it is entirely under cover and thus protected from the weather, though there may be extra stalls outside including our vegetable seller who actually prefers to be outside.
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.
The Market is on a mission to improve the health of our community permanently and also to provide a space for families and friends to spend quality time together. We provide space to community non-profits each year, including Jeremy's Run, Olney Home for Life, the Washington Area Rescue League and the Olney Boys and Girls Club. We also provide tents for local Scout troops and the Rotary Club.
Members of the Nether Edge Neighbourhood Group host and organise this local
quarterly market. It is organised entirely by a small group of local residents and volunteers in Nether Edge, Sheffield. The market is hosted in the months of March, June, September and December each year with seasonal touches for each event (e.g. Santas Grotto at the December market).
Torphins Market is Scotland's only weekly outdoor market that runs throughout the year every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm, whatever the weather!
We also hold Seasonal Saturday Markets which promote arts, crafts and local causes too.
