The best place for a Hobbit to stock up the larder is to visit the local market. You always need to be prepared for breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner or supper.

Plus you never know when unexpected visitors might arrive!

Here’s a round-up of some of our favourite markets!

Combining tradition with innovation, in 1997 Bath became the first place in Britain to open a farmers’ market. It was the start of something big. Inspired by Bath’s success, over 300 such markets have sprung up around the country.
