Farmers Markets

Bishop’s Castle’s Farmers’ Market started in 2000 in the Town Hall and has grown considerably since September 2006 so now between 20 and 25 local producers sell their excellent food and produce each month in the Town hall and the adjacent Market Square.
	One or two of our producers come from a little further a field than the immediate 20 mile radius, but both producers and customers feel that the market is an excellent event with varied and superb quality produce, much of which is organic. Not only does it provide wonderful shopping for the population (and tourists), but it also gives the producers an excellent opportunity to advertise what they do without vast expense. Some of their products are for sale in our local shops on an everyday basis as well as at the monthly market.
For further information or to book a stall contact the Town Clerk on 01588 638141 e-mail: townclerk@bishopscastle.co.uk	The market is open on the THIRD Saturday of every month, from 9am to 2pm – inside the Town Hall and in the adjacent Market Square where there are usually 12 more colourful stalls.
