Penistone Local Food and Farmers' Market

The third Penistone Local Food and Farmers' Market was held on 9th January, and because of the snow and difficult conditions succeeded in drawing in just 3 local food businesses as stallholder, as well and customers were a bit thin on the ground for the same reason. But, thank you all for helping make the day. We will continue to hold the market once a month as usual on the second Saturday of the month. We are still keen on attracting new stallholders, so if you are a customer visiting other markets, please encourage the stallholders that you like to get in touch with us - if you like what the stallholder has the chances are lots of others will too!!

We would like to know what you think about the market or if you have any ideas to help us. If so please send us an e-mail by Please do send us a message - we would love to hear what you think whether it is good or bad (but hopefully not too much bad!).

If you have visited our site before you may have noticed a slight difference - and not just the change of colours. We have changed the name to Penistone LOCAL FOOD AND Farmers' market to reflect the changing tastes and trends. We will be retaining all the things that you like about a farmers' market, but widening the range of stallholders and we hope widening the appeal of the market to you, our customers.

So if you like local food, the message is still the same - you will LOVE what we have. COME AND VISIT US!
Local produce for local people, but don't worry if you live further away - you will be very welcome!
Come and have a look, come and buy something special - You won't be disappointed!
