What's in store at Cardiff Farmers Markets in 2024
Happy New Year from all of us at Cardiff Farmers Markets; we hope you managed to have a restful and restorative break, despite the gnarly Welsh weather.
We’ve been busy looking back at 2023 - a year in which we celebrated our 25th anniversary at Riverside, our 15th anniversary at Roath, and took home an award for the ‘best retail business’ at the 2023 Cardiff Life Awards, too (find out more here). And as we gear up for the return of our weekly markets this weekend, we thought we’d set out our stall (excuse the pun) and outline what more you can expect from us in 2024…
Our three weekly markets, regular as clockwork, come rain or shine: Here, you can always buy a wide range of essentials like fruit, veg, meat, dairy and bakery products, alongside food and drink from some of Wales’ most exciting small food producers; Rhiwbina Farmers Market on Fridays, Roath Farmers Market on Saturdays, and Riverside Farmers Market on Sundays. Check our website for the most up-to-date trader listings every week.
Our pop-up markets at Cardiff Met University - not just for students! These monthly term-time markets help the city’s student population get access to farm-fresh produce and meet new producers, but they are always open to everyone to join in - not just uni students and staff. Find out more.
More new traders! We added 45 new independent food businesses to our roster last year (you can get to know some of them here) and we want to add even more in 2024. If you are interested in booking a stall with us, please get in contact with us by emailing booking@cardifffarmersmarkets.org.uk and we will come back to you with more information as soon as we can.
More live demos: From chocolate tasting to sourdough making, live fire cooking, pickling and fermenting - our wonderful traders delivered some brilliant demos in 2023, and we’ll be bringing more of this to the markets in the new year.
Hope to see you at the markets soon!
