About
The popular Royal Hillsborough Farmers Market returns to the historic village for the first of its summer markets of 2023.
The market on Saturday 27 May will celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III with a fanfare of music and a variety of family fun to include street theatre characters and craft activities.
Set in the heart of the historic village amongst the old walls and tree lined "The Dark Walk" and Hillsborough Fort it makes for a lovely day out, especially when combined with a browse of the eclectic mix of independent shops and eateries in the village.
The market features over 50 stalls of the finest local and seasonal farm-to-market produce and artisan food from across Northern Ireland for you to discover.
Expect to find regeneratively farmed and outdoor reared heritage meats, fruit and vegetables, breads, cakes, Irish cheeses, jams, chutneys and pickles, olives, pestos and tapenades, charcuterie, oysters and smoked salmon, to locally grown plants and flowers, chocolate, coffee, street food and more besides!
A small but considered selection of designed craft, art, organic skincare and sustainable living products can also be found.
