Norden Farm Market

Norden Farm Markets take place on the first Saturday of every month.

They are (mostly) outdoor markets, held under the Linhay barns - a nod to our history as an ancient dairy farm.

The Norden Farm Markets are unique. There's a Cafe Bar onsite, accessible toilets (with baby changing) and a programme of activities from cinema to classes. Stallholders sell inspiring artisanal produce ranging from arts and crafts to food and snacks.


Upcoming Outdoor Market Dates: Sat 3 Jun

Upcoming Night Market Dates: Sat 1 Jul | Sat 5 Aug | Sat 9 Sept

12pm - 4pm | Entry is FREE


Visiting the market is the perfect Saturday. Shop in the market for unusual, hand made, delicious items and then take in a film or recline with a coffee in our Café Bar where there are plenty of books and games to keep the little ones happy.

In the Summer our night markets are French inspired, complete with long banqueting tables (bring your own tableware) and live music. This year’s Summer night markets are: Sat 1 July, Sat 5 Aug and Sat 9 Sept. We also present special Christmas markets in November and December.

Dogs are very welcome, outdoors at the Norden Farm Markets and there’s always fresh water out for them.

Parking spaces are reserved for blue badge holders and the whole site is accessible.


Stallholders

If you are interested in having a stall at the Norden Farm Markets - fill in the online application form. We have 2 types of pitches available - covered areas under the Linhay (stallholders provide their own trestle tables) and Gazebo pitches. You can drive right up to you pitch on hard standing - so the set up and take down is blissfully simple and doesn’t require lugging!
