Markets

We may be biased but if you ask us, the Lake District, Cumbria may just have the best collection of markets in the country. We’ve got weekly farmer’s markets in towns and villages across the county; and a deep connection to farming and agriculture which goes back in some cases to ancient times.

Pay one a visit, and you’ll find a wide selection of fresh vegetables and farm-reared meats; homemade chutneys and jams; and all kinds of artisanal breads and cakes. Make a day of it with a visit to a traditional market town: grab a brew and discover our local produce, plus chat to the makers and discover its provenance.

Keep an eye out for Cumbria’s craft markets and fairs, too, where locally made arts and crafts are the perfect keepsake from your Cumbrian break. There’s a huge amount of artistic talent across the county, so whether you’re shopping for a loved one or for yourself, you’re sure to find something to tempt.

The Lake District, Cumbria, has a great range of markets, taking place in most towns throughout the county. Some are held on a weekly basis, with others taking place once a month. Check out what’s on when, here.
