Tips & Advice

  • Come on Friday if you want to shop after work, since it's the late-opening day of the market's three days.
  • Dress warmly if you plan to eat, because all the food vendors are outside on the hard standing by the front entrance.
  • Arrive with time to spare on Sunday, because it has the shortest shopping hours of the market's three days.
  • Makers hoping for a pitch next year should email the Markets Coordinator now to get on the 2027 list.
