Get ready to embrace the autumnal season with a delightful shopping experience at the Royal Hillsborough Farmers Market on Saturday 28th September from 10am-3pm.

In addition to an abundance of quality local, seasonal and artisan foods that the market is renowned for, our September market will be a treasure trove of local art, craft, and delicious treats. 

Whether you're searching for unique gifts for loved ones or simply want to treat yourself, you'll find something special and it is always more personable to buy direct from the maker.

We have a lovely line up of traders that will offer deli products, meat, cheese and fresh vegetables. 

Autumn Harvest  will have seasonal fruit and their range of apple juice and cider vinegar. 

Capparelli Artisan Pasta will have their range of artisan pasta to take home as well as delicious hot,  freshly cooked pasta dishes for you to enjoy at the market.

You’ll also find pates, cured salmon, prepared fish, deli products, jams, cured meats and fresh vegetables like beetroots, carrots and peas from Cherryvalley Farm. 

If you want something sweet then look forward to Moon Gelato’s homemade Italian style ice cream and deserts, homemade lemonade, Moon shakes and the Moonie - a soft baked chocolate cookie.

Royal Hillsborough locals, Kin & Folk will also have a stall, where you can pick up artisan breads, apple crumbles, carmelitas, whoopie pies, cruffins and more. Toris Coffee Cakes & Bakes will bring traditional wheaten, soda bread, biscoff balls, and cookie-filled croissants! We also welcome back Round House Bakery  with their continental style of sourdough leavened breads and viennoiserie. 

Other street food vendors Joining Capparelli Artisan Pasta serving hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks include:

The Crepe Makers team will be preparing sweet and savoury crepes, freshly made using local ingredients.
