Combining tradition with innovation, in 1997 Bath became the first location in Britain to open a Farmers' Market. It was the start of something big. Inspired by Bath's success, over 300 such markets have sprung up around the country.
Farmers' Markets in Somerset include:
Bath
Held at Green Park Station in central Bath every Saturday. A wide variety of local produce, all goods come from under 40 miles away and sold direct by the people who produced them. Find out more about Bath Farmers' Market.
