Next Market

 

Sunday 16th June 10.00am - 2pm

The market was established in 1998 and has grown to become one of the most vibrant and successful Farmers’ Markets in Sussex

Each month we have nearly 40 producers, offering a wide range of both staple and specialist local produce, plus seasonal guest producers to tie in with the growing year.

Accredited by FARMA, our stallholders are all involved in the production of their produce and are mostly based within a 30 mile radius of the town. We visit all our producers to ensure we understand the growing or production practise and that it meets the required criteria.

Second Farmers' Market starts in May !

After many months of research and planning we fianlly have permisiion to operate a second market on Cliffe Precinct. We have been hoping to achieve this for many years as demand for local produce grows we have found it difficut to keep up with just one monthly offering. The second market will run on the 3rd Sunday of each month starting from Sunday 19th May. In keeping with Sunday trading it will not begin until 10.00am. We hope that by operating on the Sunday we will not only be able to offer local produce to our regular customers more often but also will be able to reach local resisdents not always availbale on a Saturday due to work or family commitments. The market should also bring a welcome boost to Sunday traders on the precinct.

The Sunday market will feature a mix of our regular Saturday producers as well as a lot of new faces, some of whom have been waiting a very long time to bring their produce to the people of Lewes. It is sure to become a firm favourite of the Lewes calender and we welcome any feedback.
