Local Markets in Dorset

Visiting a market is a fun thing to do on holiday. You can snap up bargains, try local produce and get gifts to take home.

West Dorset is well supplied with markets in Bridport, Dorchester, Sherborne and Owermoigne. Try the farmers markets for the best range of food and drink from Dorset. If books or antiques are more your thing, go to Sherborne. Whatever you are after, remember to pack your shopping bag.
