A friend of mine runs a farmers market in Kendal. Apparently it’s one of the oldest in the UK. Some lovely products. https://kendalfarmersmarket.co.uk/

I've been there, many years ago in the middle of a blizzard when farmers were wiping snow off packets of bacon. Nice website, shame about the imported wine stall which changes the meaning of a farmers market.

Oh the joys of British weather. Be gone with that wine importer.

My fiance is from Cardiff and, in 2018, we took a trip there . We visited the Cardiff Central Market, and while walking around stumbled on the Pontcanna "Farmers" Market. He took a picture of me with the sign but, I agree, it's a cute little gathering of fun offerings but, as a farmers' market, disappointing. (I tried to attach my photo here, but it didn't work.) We never visited the Sunday market, didn't know about it, but whenever we next go we'll have to check it out. And he likes laverbread, but I've yet to try it. Whenever we return to the UK I'll have to reach out to you so you can let us know where the really good markets are. Anyway, this was really fun to read!
