Welcome to the Elham Farmers’ Market

Elham shoppers are beating higher fuel prices by shopping in their village, at their own Elham Farmers’ Market. The market is held every second and fourth Sunday of the month on the Triangle, the green opposite Elham Primary School, from 11.00 to 13.00. It is also attracting visitors from nearby villages and towns, and from further afield.

Since it first opened on 15 June this year, the market has grown every Sunday and this Sunday 10 August it will be the biggest yet, with six new traders, bringing the total to more than 20 stalls.

New this week are a second bakery selling traditional and speciality bread, “free from” ready meals all made locally in Kent from local produce, cup cakes, chutneys and jams made in North Elham. You can check the full list of traders and descriptions of their produce on our Producers page.
