Welcome to South Yorkshire Country Markets

SUMMER SUNSHINE

Summer seems to have been in full flow since May with us all having a dry and warm Spring. We have been in full swing with garden produce and plants gracing most of our markets. It all so looks as if there will be bumper crops of summer fruits to provide plenty of locally grown material for our range of delicious preserves and pickles later in the year.

Enjoy the sun whilst you can (hopefully interspersed with a little rain to keep the gardeners happy!) and see what your local market has to offer from the summers rich pickings.

Our markets are all open for their usual times (except after Christmas until mid January in most cases). The current opening position at each Market can be found by clicking the name of the Market below:

Headingley - at Headingley Farmer's Market (2nd Saturday) and Horsforth Market (1st Saturday) every month
