Stirling Farmers' Market on the Move

Changes are coming...Stirling Farmers' Market is moving!

Saturday 14 March 2009 will be the last market to be held in Maxwell Place.

The 11 April and 9 May - and possible 13 June - markets will be held in Port Street, outside M & S.

The reason for the change is that the owners of Maxwell House and car park (the current market place) have changed and need this space at weekends, so the market will not be continuing at Maxwell Place. 

The market organisers are currently drawing up an agreement for an undercover site, but in the meantime, Port Street will be the venue for the markets, on the Second Saturday of the month.

If you would like to be informed once there is a starting date and location for the new "permanent" site for Stirling Farmers' Market, then please contact the market organisers on 01877 330203.
