Faringdon holds a Saturday Market on the third Saturday of each month (typically). A great variety of goods are on offer at these markets.  A regular organic fruit and vegetable stall sells locally grown produce at very competitive prices, and there are cheeses, cakes, gifts, cards and prints, and children’s clothes and jewelry.

Many of our markets are themed to the season and different events going on in the town.
  • May sees the Blackbird Day Market, when market goers can sample some blackbird pie.
  • Charity Market in February,
  • Young Traders’ Market in July.
  • Lord Berners’ birthday is marked in September
  • Celebration of locally grown apples in October.
  • Christmas Markets are held at the annual Christmas Light Switch-on and another just before Christmas Day.
Music and other entertainment often accompany the market giving the town centre a vibrant feel early on a Saturday morning.

Farmers' Market. First Tuesday

The Farmers' Market takes place on the first Tuesday of each month in Faringdon Market Place to complement the weekly market on those days.

Faringdon is buzzing at the market which is proving to be a real pull for people from the town and its surrounding villages. We have enjoyed a turnout of 10-12 stalls on average throughout its period of existence. High quality produce on sale includes various meats, i.e. beef, venison, mutton and pork, soft fruit, fudge, cheeses, trout, bread and cakes, plants, cut flowers, and dog treats.
