Held every Wednesday and Saturday
on Truro's Lemon Quay
9am - 4pm
The Big Summer Market hosted by Truro Farmers Market is all set to go ahead on Lemon Quay this week. The five-day event will be an incredible showcase of Cornwall’s small, artisan producers.
People power came to the rescue when plans to designate Lemon Quay as a protest site for the nearby G7 threatened to derail this event. But, it has been agreed, the arrival of World Leaders and the global media should not be allowed to disrupt a community celebration of food, farming and crafts!
Instead local traders will give their own demonstration – of great food, creativity and sustainable living.
The Big Summer Market will take place from 9th – 13th June, featuring over 50 stalls of food and drink, crafts, homewares and gifts alongside entertainment, street food stalls, live music and vintage tractors.
Market Chairman Graham Bradshaw commented: “This will be a feast of summer flavours, as our stallholders celebrate the most vibrant, colourful and abundant time of year here in Cornwall. After the challenges of the last eighteen months, this will be a hugely positive moment for market and the wider community.”
Food lovers are invited to shop for fresh, sustainably-caught fish and shellfish, grass-fed and free range meat from local farmers, artisan dairy products and sought-after store cupboard ingredients.
Drinks aficionados can expect a huge swathe of locally made craft beers, small-batch ciders, award-winning wines and artisan spirits.
Arts and craft stalls will range from vintage homewares to willow weaving, handmade soaps to unique jewellery.
We’re looking forward to delivering what promises to be a brilliant five days for both the local community and visitors to Cornwall. If the G7 leaders are looking for some great food and local culture, they should come along!
