It is part of Country Markets Ltd., a national organisation which is a membership-based, co-operative social enterprise selling home-made, home-produced and hand-crafted produce directly to the public (www.country-markets.co.uk). We are a “not for profit” organisation but cover operating costs by taking a 10 to 15% commission on producers’ sales.

Our weekly market is held every Friday morning from 9.00am until 11.00am (Closed Christmas to mid-January, Good Friday and 1 week in October when the Faringdon Art Society Exhibition takes place. Notice of these closures is always given well in advance.
