15 Food, 3 Home & Garden, 1 Craft

16 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 2019 CHRISTMAS Food and Craft Festival is on SUNDAY, 15 DECEMBER, 11am - 2.00pm, in the Village Square and St Mary's Church. Please put the date in your diaries and come along to enjoy the festivities. Santa has already confirmed that he'll be back dispensing gifts from his vintage shepherd's hut. We'll have over 40 stalls selling delicious local food and drink and gorgeous handmade gifts and crafts, and you can enjoy tea, coffee and sandwiches at the Chancel Cafe, mulled wine, spiced cider and hot dogs at the Kings Arms pub as well as tasty lunches in the Abbot's Fireside or Rose & Crown inns in the high street. And don't forget to enter our fabulous raffle to support the building of a much-needed Church loo.

It's a festive, fun day out 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.
