Stroud Farmers' Market is known as the busiest and most popular farmers market in the South West and has been featured in the Sunday Telegraph, The Observer, The Independent,
The Guardian Weekend, The Times and the Country Living
Guide to Farmers' Markets amongst many other publications.
We have also been on BBC Blue Peter, BBC Rick Stein's Food Heroes, BBC Points West "Eat the West" and ITV West's "Secrets of the Cotswolds" among our many appearances on television.
The market was the inspiration for Katie Ford's best selling novel "Paradise Fields" .
The Thread needle Flea Market joins us on the last Saturday of each month with an eclectic mix of old and new - fairly traded scarves, hand made jewellery, vintage and collectables, traditional canal ware, garden and home wares, planters and garden furniture, and more.
There are around 45 to 50 stalls each Saturday, depending on the season, with up to 10
organic producers selling a good range of certified organic food and drink. As well as heaps of local produce, including cooked food stalls all year, there is always
a wide range of quality local crafts from traditional and contemporary makers.
This famous market is well worth a visit
whether you are a new-comer to farmers markets or a well seasoned
lover of fine local food and drink.
