Markets
Stroud Farmers' Market
Local producers selling their own food on Cornhill Market Place and the streets around it in the middle of Stroud, every Saturday from 9am to 2pm.
Stroud Farmers' Market is held every Saturday from 9am to 2pm on Cornhill Market Place and the streets around it, in the middle of Stroud. It is run by Made in Stroud, which trades as Fresh-n-Local, and the stalls are local producers selling food they have grown, reared or made themselves.
What you can buy
The stalls include bakers, cheesemakers and growers of fruit and vegetables. The Farm Retail Association certifies the market as a genuine farmers' market, where you buy local food straight from the person who produced it.
The market is nominated for Best Farmers' Market of the Year in the Farm Retail Association's awards, with the winner announced at its conference in March 2027, and Fresh-n-Local's markets won a Stroud Community Award in 2026.
The organiser had not said by October 2026 whether the market runs on the Saturdays after Christmas and New Year (26 December 2026 and 2 January 2027), so ring 07813 943237 to check. Fresh-n-Local also runs Stroud's Goodwill Evening market on Cornhill on Friday 4 December 2026, from 4pm to 9pm, and Christmas markets there on 16, 17 and 18 December 2026, from 9am to 4pm; those are craft and food markets, not farmers' markets.
Getting there and parking
Stroud station has direct trains to London Paddington about every hour, and the market is in the town centre. Stroud District Council runs the town car parks, which charge on Saturdays, with Blue Badge holders parking free in any bay; the town is at its busiest on a Saturday, so arrive early.
Making a day of it in Stroud
Saturday is the best day to see the town. Stay at the Clothiers Arms or out on the common at the Bear of Rodborough, and walk off lunch on Rodborough Common. For more of the valleys around the town, see Stroud and the Five Valleys.
