About

The popular Royal Hillsborough Farmers Market returns to the historic village on Saturday 27th July and Saturday 28th September this year. 

Set in the heart of Royal Hillsborough amongst the old walls and tree lined 'The Dark Walk' at Hillsborough Fort, it makes for a lovely day out especially when combined with a browse of the eclectic mix of independent shops and eateries in the village.

Join us and enjoy browsing the 50 stalls of the finest local and seasonal farm-to-market produce and artisan food from across Northern Ireland. A selection of designer craft, art, organic skincare and sustainable living products to complement the food and drink offering can also be found.

Expect to find regeneratively farmed and outdoor reared meats, fruit and vegetables, breads, cakes, Irish cheeses, jams, chutneys and pickles, olives, pestos and tapenades, charcuterie, oysters and smoked salmon, to locally grown plants and flowers, chocolate, coffee, street food and more besides!

Stalls will feature established food market names such as Kin and Folk, Round House Bakery, Tori's Bakery, Tom and Ollie, Seaview Farms, Crawfords Rock Seaweed Company, The Oystercatcher and Deli Muru, Hillsborough's own independent plant nursery, Potter's Hill Plants and close neighbour, Gracehill Flower Farm will all be in attendance with locally grown seasonal blooms.    

By the time you explore the village and browse the market you will be ready for refreshments and you will be spoilt for choice with the street food on offer to include the likes of The Gardener's Kitchen, Tribal Burger, Crepes 2 Go and The Curious Farmer.  

The convivial market vibes makes for a rewarding shopping experience whether it is discovering something new or stocking up on your favourite locally produced goods.

Come join us.  We'd love to see you!
