Welcome to Elham Farmers' Market in Kent

NEXT MARKET: SUMMER SUNDAY, 17 June, 11am - 2pm, Village Square and St Mary's Church

ELHAM SUMMER FOOD & CRAFT FESTIVAL

SUNDAY, 17 JUNE, 11am - 2pm, VILLAGE SQUARE AND ST MARY'S CHURCH

This year's market will coincide with Elham Open Gardens weekend (16/17 June), and also falls on Fathers' Day, so do come and celebrate with us.

Our historic village square is the perfect backdrop for our food and drink vendors and our beautiful church makes the ideal setting for our craft and gift traders. The Chancel Cafe in the Church is always very popular.

The market will open to the peal of bells from our bellringers, and you'll be able to take a Church tower tour afterwards. There will be a bouncy castle and Pimms at the Kings Arms, and a scarecrow trail to follow.

So do put the date in your diaries as we'll have lots of fun and games as well as plenty of stalls selling delicious local food and drink and gorgeous handmade crafts and gifts.

More news soon!

In the meantime, if you'd like a stall, please email julie.woodgate@yahoo.co.uk

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.
