We're busy planning the festivities for our first market of the year - Sunday, March 11 - and hope you'll make a note of the date and check this website for updates on what's happening.

We CAN promise lots of fun for all the family, live music and guest stalls selling gifts for Mothering Sunday (which falls on the following weekend). Our regular traders will be back too - and are looking forward to welcoming you with their fresh Spring produce. And David and Carole at the Rose & Crown are also busy planning what they'll serve to celebrate the market re-opening and the start of Spring.

So please come and join us to try some of the best of what our corner of Kent has to offer. It's going to be a great party!

We hope to see you there!

You can find a full list of producers on our Producers' page.

Friends of Elham Market

The market is a not-for-profit organisation run by a management committee of volunteers representing different village organisations. They and other volunteers help with a number of tasks on market days, but we always need more Friends of Elham Market to take a turn at putting up the bunting and help set up and take down the market. Even if you’ve only got one Sunday morning free in the year, we would love to hear from you. Come and join us and make new friends. Contact the market manager, Julie Woodgate on t: 01303 840044 for more details.

In his latest message of support, Phil said: "I am delighted that the market has been such a success so far and will now become a permanent feature in Elham. Congratulations to the local producers for providing such a range of high quality goods, and to your shoppers for recognising and appreciating the value of good seasonal local food, produced by people who care."
