Saturday & Sunday • UK farmers’ market directory
16 markets, and when each one is next on
Farmers’ markets in four counties: the day each one runs, its opening hours and the next dates.
The North East has 16 farmers’ markets in this directory, in four counties: nine run on a Saturday and five on a Sunday, and one is weekly rather than monthly. The 14 that run in every month of the year include Barnard Castle, Darlington Indie & Farmers Market and Northern Dales Farmers’ Market, Eaglescliffe. FARMA certifies two of them.
Looking for the nearest? The farmers’ market finder sorts every market in the UK by distance from your postcode and shows its next dates; pick a day this week, or any day in the next ten weeks.
