Held every Wednesday and Saturday
on Truro's Lemon Quay and

On Saturday 12th February we’ll have a bumper, pre-Valentine’s edition of the market for you. Lots of our stallholders will be offering collection via pre-order – keep an eye on social media for more details.
Valentine’s Day is fast-approaching! Here at the market you’ll find an array of gifts that really show you care, while also showing some love to the local community and the environment. From speciality chocolate to sustainable homewares, Cornish-grown plants to a beautiful writing implement, there’s something for everyone.
Meanwhile, if you’re planning a romantic night in, here’s our guide to indulgent food and drink with a local flavour!
Get things off on the right foot with a personalised treat for your Valentine…
The Cookie Queen has something special for all you old romantics with a sweet tooth. Pre-order a Giant Red Velvet Cookie Heart and you can request a personal message; simply collect from the market on Saturday 12th and resist taking a nibble until it’s sharing time!
Jo is also running workshops at her baking HQ in Redruth for anyone looking to go the extra mile and decorate a giant cookie themselves. Contact her to find out more.
For a Cornish Italian feast featuring all your favourites…
The Cornish Italian will be offering special Valentine’s packages, including delicious fennel Tarallini (a classic snack from Puglia) a choice of handmade and freshly prepared pasta dishes, and authentic Italian pizza. An indulgent Valentine’s feast which is easy to prepare and designed for sharing, we recommend opening a lovely bottle of Italian red to enjoy too…
All this is followed by Ugo Massabo’s award-winning artisan tiramisu – choose from original, chocolate or rum. Served in handy and environmentally-friendly glass jars, these little pots of joy are the ultimate hassle-free dessert!
For a Valentine’s meal guaranteed to impress…
Two of our fabulous market producers have teamed up again this year to offer Cornwall’s most desirable Valentine’s Day meal kit. La Pineta Italian and Treway Farm have pulled out all the stops to design a feast of date-night favourites.
Available for pre-order via the Treway Farm website from the 1st Feb for collection at market on Saturday 12th February, the meal kits features an Italian antipasti platter (mixed charcuterie, cheese, breadsticks and olives) to start with.
Moving on to the main event, choose your favourite cut of steak; we’re talking grass-fed beef, impeccably aged for real depth of flavour. It’ll come with sides of locally-sourced seasonal veg – Hasselback Potatoes, herby buttered greens, and a peppercorn sauce. Dessert is La Pineta’s famous homemade tiramisu, and also included are local chocolates to enjoy with your digestif. Speaking of which…
For perfect cocktails and post-meal tipples…
Rosemullion Distillery has created the perfect seasonal rum for Valentine’s Day. They’ve taken their award-winning pot-distilled rum and infused it with chocolate, raspberry and mango before aging it to perfection – just in time for Feb the 14th.
The International Wine & Spirits Competition called it: “A great expression of cacao, with a full spectrum of rich chocolate notes running throughout. Delicate aromas of molasses pave the way to a palate with rum, raisin and dark cherry flavours.” But we’ll just tell you that it’s ‘ansum!
We look forward to seeing you at market over the next few weeks.
