The best farmer’s markets to visit in the UK this summer Wine News

This weekly Saturday market is renowned for its lively atmosphere – you’re likely to encounter as much live music as you do local asparagus. But the products are also top notch. Local fruits and vegetables, much of which are organic, are the name of the game here, including some of the best local strawberries in season. Locals cite Pippin’s Donuts as some of the best in the country and the perfect fuel for a morning browsing the market.

Every Saturday; 9 am-2pm; Cornhill Market Square and surrounding streets, Stroud GL5 2HH

Monthly food market in Malton, North Yorkshire

Star chef Tommy Banks, who lives nearby, is a fan. “There’s always a guy who makes pies with puddings or Yorkshire burritos, it’s pretty cliché but very popular. Malton also has the most amazing food festival, which draws 60,000 visitors over two days, it’s pretty rock.
