Penistone Local Food and Farmers' Market

The volunteer organisers of the market have taken the difficult but necessary decision to supsend the market over the summer months.

The reason is that over the summer months a number of stall holders attend the local shows and events, and with the relatively low number of stallholders, it was felt that we would end up with a very depleted market.

However, the development of the new market is on course for completion and we plan for the market to re-start in October when the new 'crook barn' market building is complete. So it is a case of suspension of the market not closure!!!

So please keep a watchful eye on this site many of the stallholders are keen to come back in October, and don't forget that many will be at Penistone Show, so if you get the chance come along as see them in the food tent in September.

For now, many thanks for logging onto our site - the messages below about new stallholders stay the same, and please send us your comments and thoughts by e-mail using the link below or through the contact us page.

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 want more information on the FUR AND FEATHER MARKET during and after the re-development, talk to Wilbys in Barnsley on 01226 299221.
