Welcome to Elham Farmers' Market in Kent

NEXT MARKET: SUMMER SUNDAY, 5 June, 12 - 3.30pm, Village Square and St Mary's Church

ELHAM SUMMER FOOD & CRAFT FESTIVAL

SUNDAY, 5th JUNE, 12 - 3.30pm, VILLAGE SQUARE AND ST MARY'S CHURCH

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 gifts.

St Mary's Church bellringers will open the market with a joyous peal and, back by popular demand, are opening the Church Tower for visitors to sample bell ringing for themselves.

We're running a village scarecrow competition with a map to see all the colourful characters outside people's houses and new market committee member, PAM FERRIS, has kindly agreed to present a prize to the winning scarecrow designer.

And, in it's first year, Elham Walking Festival will be in full swing.

We'll add more details nearer the time.

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 hope to hold it three or four times a year. 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: 01303 840044 for more details.
