The Market will always be held both inside and outside our Village Hall. For information purposes, we recommend that all customers - even those local to the area - be on our confidential e-mail system run in accordance with the Data Protection Act. This provides information on a monthly basis on stallholder attendance, special offers and product details, particularly concerning the fresh fish available.
FREE ENTRY
Our Farmer's Market is run by volunteers for the benefit of Matching Village Hall Registered Charity No 301366. We celebrated our 17th Birthday in October 2024, so you can see that the Market is well established.
We concentrate on locally produced fresh food and drink as the main focus of the Market. This supports the local economy and, where possible businesses in the local community. Quality craft and plant stalls add variety to the Market.
We hope that the quality of the food and crafts on offer will please you. Buying free range, locally reared meat, fresh fish from the Essex coast and, where possible, other freshly prepared food from local producers at reasonable prices, reducing food miles and food packaging, is what it is all about.
We provide refreshments for customers who fancy a cup of tea or coffee and/or a bacon sandwich.
We run a confidential e-mail system in accordance with Data Protection regulations and we recommend that customers join it to keep up to date with our plans. Please contact Don Cramphorn if you wish to join – see below for contact details.
If you have any questions or comments on the Farmer's Market, please contact Don Cramphorm, Market Co-Ordinator on 01279 731312 or by email on matchingvillagehall@gmail.com.
We know it can be difficult to find places in the countryside, so if it's your first time visiting us and you're not familiar with exactly where we are, our What 3 Words are jams.pulled.apples
