Taunton Farmer’s Market: Supporting Local for Over 20 Years – Rain or Shine!

Every Thursday, come rain, shine, or Somerset wind, Taunton High Street transforms into a vibrant showcase of the best local produce and artisan goods the region has to offer. From 9am to 2pm, the Taunton Farmer’s Market sets up shop, offering a true taste of the South West — and it's been doing so for over 20 years.

Established as a way to champion local, independent businesses, the market has grown into a weekly institution. Its continued success is a testament to the dedication of the traders and the loyalty of the community. These are not faceless companies or mass-produced products — each stall is run by a passionate grower, baker, butcher, brewer, or maker. The stories behind the stalls are as rich and varied as the goods they sell.

Whether you're after organic vegetables picked fresh from the soil that morning, handmade cheeses aged to perfection, small-batch preserves, artisan breads, or award-winning meats and pies — you’ll find it here. You’ll also spot seasonal flowers, natural skincare, local cider, and sometimes even handcrafted gifts and art. The market’s ever-evolving mix of stalls ensures there’s something new to discover each week.

But what really sets the Taunton Farmer’s Market apart is the resilience of its traders. These are hardy folk — standing outdoors all year round in unpredictable British weather, come frost or flood. It's their dedication and pride in their craft that makes the market what it is: a living, breathing part of Taunton’s community.

So whether you're doing your weekly shop or just popping by on your lunch break, make a point to visit Taunton Farmer’s Market on a Thursday. You’ll not only walk away with high-quality, locally made products — you’ll be supporting independent businesses and keeping a 20-year tradition thriving right in the heart of the High Street.
