The Farmers' Market
It serves to provide the local community with fresh, local
produce. This in turn helps to protect our environment by
supporting the sound farming practices that have shaped our
beautiful Weald landscape. It also benefits the environment through
reducing the distance that food travels from the producer to the
consumer, cutting down on goods transport and pollution. Finally,
it boosts our local economy by keeping money spent within the local
community and businesses, and adding to the vibrancy of the town
centre.
Local produce for local people
Tunbridge Wells Farmers' Market has been running since 1999 and
is now a popular and regular event in the town centre. It is
organised and run by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.
We abide by the 'FARMA' national association rules of membership
for selecting our stallholders. This sets a standard, to ensure
that the stallholders themselves are legitimate and also that the
produce that they bring along to the market is their own. There is
also an amount of judgement required on behalf of the staff who run
the market, in order to maintain a healthy balance of stalls
throughout the year and therefore ensure good footfall and customer
loyalty.
Venue
The Market takes place on Civic Way (outside the Town Hall)
Royal Tunbridge Wells, on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month
from 9am-2pm.
