Upchurch Farmers Market - Market Memoranda

OUR NEXT MARKET  will be on Sunday the 22nd of April 2012 at Upchurch Village Hall, 10:00am to 1:00pm.

Thanks & Apologies

Thank you to all our loyal customers who attended the March market and apologies for the small number of stalls. Unfortunately we can do little when expected stallholders do not appear without warning. We have assurances that many of the missing stalls will return this month so why not give us a try and bring a friend or two with you? We’re sure there’s something for everyone, including, this month, a demonstration of paella cooking!

Committee Vacancy

Unfortunately, one of our Committee members, Terry Lewis, has recently tendered his resignation and leaves with our gratitude for his hard work and enthusiasm in getting the market started. So, if you would like to be at the heart of this worthwhile community project, please contact Dave or Andrea on: 01634 361040.

Finish Time

Finally, the Committee apologises that some of the notices on the approaches to the village show a finish time of 2:00pm. Please note that we finish at 1:00pm throughout the year and are taking steps to correct the information.

Look Forward To Seeing Lots & Lots Of You On The 22nd.


For those that like to buy locally there is a monthly Village Market at Iwade.  Details here.

Upchurch Scouts - Appeal for help

Parents can you help us on Sat 14th April between 9am and about 10am ?

Every month we have a fantastic band of supporters that help to keep the hut running and the cost of scouting for your kids as low as possible by helping us collect recycled paper. This month other commitments mean our usual team of helpers is going to be very depleted.

We are usually collecting between about 9am and 10am. We then need help to empty carrier bags full of paper into the trailer and other people to collect any remaining paper. No special skills required lol.... Everyone welcome. Please pass this on to friends and relatives...the more the merrier. It would be great to see some of the kids helping with their parents as well.

Thanks for any support you can give.
