What is a Farmers' Market?        More about Brough

The Farmers' Market is held on the third Saturday of every month, in the Memorial Hall in Brough (Brough-under-Stainmore  to give its full name), Cumbria.

It is almost unique among farmers' markets in that it is entirely under cover and thus protected from the weather, though there may be extra stalls outside, and our vegetable seller actually prefers to be outside.

The Farmers' Market is a Certified member of the FARMA (the National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association). It has been supported by Cumbria Community Foundation, North Pennines LEADER + and DEFRA, Co-operative Group Community Dividend Fund, Cumbria County Council, Eden District Council and Brough Parish Council. 

Future dates are:--

2010    January 16th   February 20th   March 20th   April 17th   May 15th   June 19th   July 17th   August 21st   September 18th   October 16th   November 20th   December 18th

The current opening hours are 9.30 am to 2.00 pm for the larger part of the year, but in winter (January, February and March) the closing time is 1.00 pm (an hour earlier).

If you cannot manage these dates, or if you like what you find in Brough and would like an opportunity to restock before our next market, you might also like to visit the Eden Valley's other Farmers' Markets at Orton (2nd Saturday in the month) or Penrith (3rd Tuesday) and in summer months (April to September) at Pooley Bridge (last Sunday in month).  Information on farmers' markets elsewhere in the United Kingdom can be found on The Foody's web pages.

Brough has a long history, which includes the castle which dominates the village and is open without charge to visitors.
