We love to hear from those artisans who make, grow and do stuff themselves, or have something of interest that fits the Farmers Market.
So if you ‘fit’, then request an application form below.
But before you request a form - do you meet the market criteria?
First - have you been to the market? Please visit, as it will provide you with some understanding of how we operate and where you think you might fit in or not.
Are you are a Friend of the Market? We suggest you join up and receive a weekly newsletter that gives you all the latest on the weekly actions at the market.
You can apply for a casual site or a regular one. Most stallholders need to complete a four week discounted trial before they are accepted officially into the market. This four weeks provides you with ample time to find out if the market works for you and us time to find out if you work for the greater good of the market.
Whether you are just experimenting or well established we would love to hear from you if you line of things is not already well catered for. Some seasons you may have to go on the wait list if we are fully booked with our regulars.
WHAT KIND OF STALLHOLDER ARE YOU? Food, craft, plants? Please make sure you choose the right form below.

Before you request an application read through the criteria below to ensure you understand what is involved.
Most stallholders are required to complete a four week trial,this helps you to decide if the market works for you and visa versa; every Market is different. You can still apply for a one off site but we don’t recommend it.
YOU SHOULD BE THE PRODUCER OF WHAT YOU SELL OR COME CLOSE TO IT. The majority of our stallholders are the producers or growers of their products and the artisans the makers. We do allow for a very small number of on sellers if they offer a point of difference that complements the market. Being local is not enough on its own to qualify, We not accept francise or sellers on of items.
WHAT CAN YOU SELL? The stallholders have earned an excellent reputation for good reason; it has something to do with quality of their products and them personally. If you are selling on anything, ie you did not make it; you have to declare this on the application form. If you are simply selling something as part of a franchise please do not apply, this market is not for you. Preference is given to:
1. Good quality food using wholefoods.
2. Seasonal regional local foods.
2. Practical and beautiful crafts that you have ideally made yourself and offer a point of difference as well as practicability.
3. Plants and trees and all garden related things that grow.
WHAT YOU MUST HAVE AS A STALLHOLDER:
A great product.
Commitment. If you want your business to succeed then you need to be a year round/seasonal stallholder. You must be committed during all weather events, and do the hard yards which may involve winter. This means turning up even when you think you know its going to be a lame day. We do make allowances for craft on bad weather days up to a point. Your commitment is really important, and cannot be understated. We strongly believe for a market to succeed it must operate all year. If you only attend seasonally yourself its important you consider supporting the market by being a customer during your off season. We notice! We all love it when you become a customer.
Dedication. Quality of your product is paramount.
Passion. It shows in what you do and your customers love it.
Friendly. Customers and fellow stallholders can become your friends.
A Gazebo. All stallholders must have one.
All other market related enquires are best dealt with in person at the market.
Please specify in the subject line below which application form you are applying for and we will then send you your application.
We will get back to you as soon as we are able, which may not be immediately.
If you haven’t heard back from us after a week or so then send again, as sometimes your emails get lost. Thanks for your interest we look forward to hearing from you.
