Welcome to Elham Farmers' Market in Kent

NEXT MARKET: SUMMER 2021, SUNDAY, 8 AUGUST, 11am - 2pm, Village Square and St Mary's Church

We're looking forward to welcoming everybody back to our picturesque village square and beautiful church, which offer the perfect backdrop for our food and drink vendors and craft and gift traders. Our Church Bellringers will herald the opening of the market with a joyous peal of bells and we'll have lively entertainment from the Pennyroyal Clog Dancers.

Elham Scarecrows will lead the way to the market and provide inspirational opportunites for selfies. We're lining up a fantastic raffle and the Chancel Cafe in the Church is the perfect pitstop, serving tea, coffee, soup, sandwiches and ploughman's lunches.

If you'd like a stall next summer, please email julie.woodgate@yahoo.co.uk

In the meantime, stay safe - and come and join us in August.

PLEASE NOTE:

Our Christmas Food & Craft Festival is totally unrelated to Elham Christmas Market, which is normally held in the village in October to raise funds for Pilgrims Hospices. To find out more about this event, please contact Carol Stevens at: aykleyhouse@yahoo.com

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Friends of Elham Food Festival

The Food Festival is a not-for-profit organisation run by a management committee of volunteers representing different village organisations. We hold it twice a year in winter and summer. The committee and other volunteers help with a number of tasks on market days, but we always need more Friends of Elham Food Festival to take a turn at putting up the bunting and help set up and take down the gazebos. Come and join us and make new friends.

Contact the market manager, Julie Woodgate on t: 07756 087935 for more details.
