If you’re planning to stay in Dorset, don’t miss the county’s marvellous markets. There are markets across West Dorset. Why not start with a Farmers’ Market?
Farmers markets are a sense explosion: beautiful smells of fresh cooked food and coffee greet you as you arrive. Many stall holders will offer samples, so you can taste before you buy. Your eyes will relish the colours of the beautifully arranged seasonal fruit, flowers and vegetables. There is a wonderful range of fresh, local produce for sale at every Dorset Farmers’ Market across the county. You can find high quality ingredients for your dinner, or even home-cooked pies and quiches, perfect with some fresh salad leaves for the no-cook holiday meal. You can find gifts to take home and meet the farmers, producers and growers directly.
You know we support sustainable tourism in Dorset, so remember that when you shop at a farmers market you are supporting local producers too. Find Farmers’ Markets at the venues listed:
