All year round our popular markets mean you can sample and buy fine quality food and drink from local producers. Produce on offer includes cheese, meat, fruit juice, vegetables, oil, plants, cakes, preserves and wine. It's a fantastic opportunity to try the local produce on your doorstep, at your convenience. See our list of regular stall holders.
The local produce markets are organised by the town council and Transition Town Chesham, to support local producers and to reduce the food miles consumed by Chesham's residents to help create a more sustainable community.
If you are a local producer and interested in attending our markets, please contact the town council on policy@chesham.gov.uk or phone 01494 774842. We also have a free stall at each market for Chesham-based community groups and charities - if you think your organisation would qualify, please do let us know.
