About
Stroud Farmers' Market fills Cornhill Market Place and the streets round it in the centre of Stroud every Saturday from 9am to 2pm, a few minutes' walk from the Subscription Rooms. It is run by Made in Stroud, from the Baptist Hall on Union Street, under the Fresh-n-Local name, and is certified by the FRA as a genuine farmers' market, where you buy local food from the people who produce it.
The organiser describes its markets as selling cheese, meat, dairy, bread, cakes, seasonal fruit and vegetables, herbs, apple juice and garden plants, with crafts at some, and a farmers’ market information stall with seasonal recipe sheets and a monthly prize draw. Salt Bakehouse sells here on Saturdays.
The market has been nominated for Best Farmers' Market of the Year in the Farm Retail Association's 2027 awards, with the winners announced in March 2027. Made in Stroud also runs farmers' markets in Stow-on-the-Wold and Gloucester and a Christmas market in Stroud.
