20 Food, 3 Home & Garden, 1 Craft , 1 Other

22 permanent and 3 seasonal.

The Farmers' Market in the picturesque Village Square and St Mary's Church of Elham is held as a special Food & Craft Festival event twice a year: Christmas and Summer.

Our 2016 SUMMER Food & Craft Festival is on SUNDAY, 5th JUNE, 12 - 3.30pm in the Village Square and St Mary's Church. It will showcase some of the exhibits from our scarecrow competition and we're delighted that PAM FERRIS has kindly agreed to present the winner with a prize at the market. We've got 30+ stalls selling delicious local food and drink and gorgeous gifts and garden plants, with Pimms and hot dogs at the Kings Arms, the Chancel Cafe in the church selling teas, coffees and ploughmans lunches, as well as a fish and chip van which uses fish caught from around Folkestone. The Church bell-ringers will open the market with a joyous melody and will be offering tower tours and bell ringing for a small fee. Elham is also hosting its first ever walking festival this weekend, so there's lots to do for all the family. We hope to see you there!

The market offers a selection of locally produced fruit and vegetables (some organic), eggs, cheese, fresh meat (organic), game, bread, cakes and pies, honey, jams, pickles, and wine. This selection varies according to season and availability.

The Farmers' Market is a not-for profit organisation run by a committee of volunteers representing different organisations in Elham. The Elham community is directly involved through the Friends Association, while Elham Gardeners have one stall where they sell their own fruit and veg, cut flowers, herbs, jams and more, all produced in the village.

After the market, make sure to visit one of our friendly pubs for some refreshments (the Kings Arms, the Rose & Crown or the Abbot's Fireside), stop for a cuppa in the Cosy Tea Rooms, or enjoy a walk through this historic village with its many listed buildings.
