Farnham Markets, Events and What's On: Farmers' Market, Festivals and Maltings

When is the Farnham Farmers' Market?

Farnham Town Council organises a monthly Farmers' Market at Central car park, off Victoria Road, GU9 7RD. Its events page lists the next market as 25 October 2026, 10am to 1:30pm, and the council's December listing gives 13 December 2026, 10am to 1:30pm. Market dates do not always follow the same Sunday each month, so use the council page for each date. The council says everything is grown or produced within 50 miles, with around 35 producers typically attending, selling items from fish, meat and honey to bread, fruit and vegetables, eggs, oils, sauces, drinks, pies and crafts.

What else does Farnham Town Council organise?

The council's events page lists, as published:

• Music in the Meadow: live music on Sundays in Gostrey Meadow from 3pm to 5pm.
• Music in the Vineyard: winter Sunday afternoon concerts at Vineyard Church, Union Road.

Always confirm times on the council page because plans, weather and road closures can change them.

What is on at Farnham Maltings?

Farnham Maltings is a registered charity and arts venue. Its What's On page lists live performances, film screenings, festivals, family events, workshops and museum exhibitions, with membership and venue hire available. When we read it, the listings included an exhibition called Handmade in Farnham, a Maltings Monthly Market from 3 October to 5 December, a Met Opera screening on 6 October and a Festival of Crafts on 10 and 11 October. The Maltings changes its programme often, so treat that as a sample and use the page itself.

Are there village events?

Farnham Town Council's villages page says Hale holds a successful annual carnival on the first Saturday in July, and that The Bourne village green hosts the annual Bourne Show.

Where can I park for events?

See our parking guide. The Farmers' Market uses Central car park itself, so check the council's market page for any parking notes on market days. Roadworks may also affect town-centre buses; see our buses guide.

What about the library?

Free weekly sessions are listed in our library guide.
