PENZANCE FARMERS' MARKET

Every Friday

9 am - 2 pm

St John’s Hall, Alverton Street, Penzance TR18 2QR.

The westernmost town in Britain takes its name from the Cornish, Pensans, meaning the holy headland. Looking south out to sea to Mount’s Bay towards St Michael’s Mount and the Lizard peninsula, this ancient town has a mile-long promenade stretching along the bay through to the fishing port of Newlyn.

Penzance has been a market town and a trading point for farmers and fishermen for centuries. The trading tradition was revived in March 2009 with the opening of Penzance Farmers’ Market at the top of Causewayhead. Inclement weather forced the market to relocate to St John’s Hall during the winter where it has now re-opened in the courtyard in front of the building.

With upwards of 15 stalls, the market offers plenty of choice when it comes to local raw ingredients as well as delicious homemade produce. Seasonal cut flowers and unusual garden plants and herbs are also available. Every October, it hosts a special Apple Day in celebration ofharvest and especially of Cornish apples. 

“Since we’ve become an outdoor market again, we’re really living up to our slogan ‘Real Food. Real Farmers. Real Community’! We aim to become a regular shopping venue for local shoppers and a destination market for tourists. We want to become part of the fabric of the town.”
