Our Christmas market is on Saturday 21st December

located at Friars Walk Car Park, Lewes, a minutes walk from the Cliff Precinct, 9am to 1pm

The first market in 2025 is on Saturday 4th January

Lewes District Council are running a survey to find out what local people, traders, businesses and visitors think about the market. LDC is interested to know how people travel to the market, whether they do other things in Lewes on Farmers Market days, and thoughts on the current location and timings. They are also interested to know whether respondents are more or less likely to visit Lewes town centre on market days. YOU CAN TAKE PART IN THE SURVEY HERE

First and third Saturdays of the month.

Lewes Farmers Market Celebrates its 25th Year

Twenty five years ago Lewes Farmers Market started out with three pilot markets. At that time Lewes was a trail blazer with only one other Farmers Market in England. Today Lewes Farmers Market continues to provide exceptional local food, is a fun place to shop, supports local businesses, and has stuck to its principles of environmental protection, high animal welfare standards, and minimum food miles and packaging.

What is at the market

Our producers will have fresh eggs, honey, hand crafted cheeses, local apples and plums, organic fruit and vegetables, organic raw milk, yogurt, butter, organic beef, craft sourdough bread and pastries made with organic flour, home made cakes and puddings with lots of vegan and gluten free options, perennial plants, lavender products, chutneys and jams, luxury sausage rolls and pork pies made from free-range rare breed pork, herbal teas made from homegrown herbs that also feed the bees, hand made baskets, charcoal, apple juice and craft gin.

Parking at the Market

There is limited parking in Friars Walk Car Park during the market. View a map of the spaces available here. The Phoenix long stay car park is a 3 minutes drive away.
