Welcome to Elham Farmers' Market in Kent

NEXT MARKET: SUMMER SUNDAY, 16 June, 11am - 2pm, Village Square and St Mary's Church

ELHAM SUMMER FOOD & CRAFT FESTIVAL

SUNDAY, 16 JUNE, 11am - 2pm, VILLAGE SQUARE AND ST MARY'S CHURCH

Our picturesque 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, serving tea, coffee, soup, sandwiches and ploughman's lunches.

So do put the date in your diaries as our bellringers will be opening the market with a joyful peal of bells from 10.30 and offering tours of the historic Church tower. We'll have over 30 stalls selling delicious local produce and gorgeous handmade gifts and the Kings Arms in the Square will be serving Pimms and hot dogs.

And don't forget our fabulous raffle giving you the chance to win Eurotunnel tickets and support the building of a much-needed new Church loo.

We hope to see you there!

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.
