Stowmarket’s twice weekly markets are getting a revamp this year. Stowmarket’s Farmers Markets is being relaunched, and a brand-new Family Friendly market will be kicking off once a month too. The Town will also welcome back some favourite events. It’s an exciting time for residents and visitors of Stowmarket.
Being held on the first Saturday of the month, Stowmarket Farmers Market will showcase some of the great East Anglian food producers alongside our traditional Saturday market. Following feedback from the pilot Farmers Market of 2024, the relaunched Farmers Market will ensure high quality goods and offer a bigger range of items. Just a sample of some of the local produce you can expect includes fresh bread, fish, flowers, chocolates, dog treats, cakes and desserts. Each event will also have a hot food vendor, fresh coffee and seating. Head on down to the Market Place on the first Saturday of the month and enjoy a hot drink, sweet treat or maybe a sausage sandwich. A perfect way to kick of a Saturday.
The next, a brand-new Family Friendly market will take place in Stowmarket every third Saturday of the month. This will be the traditional Saturday market with family entertainment. There is so many fun things planned from dancing to music to crafts plus some specialised family friendly stalls. There will be coffee, sweet treats and hot food so head on down and let your little one be entertained and then enjoy Stowmarket’s bustling market and local shops.
A firm Stowmarket favourite – Foodie Thursday’s will be back bigger and better. This year Foodie Thursday will take place every Thursday from April to the end of the year. Elevate your Thursday lunch by enjoying a delicious lunch from a variety of hot food traders – we’ve got so many exciting vendors lined up – from Taco’s, Mac and Cheese to epic Sandwiches. Head on down and take a seat on German style benches soaking up the sunshine (fingers crossed) and atmosphere whilst listening to some live music.
