Lostwithiel Local Produce Market

The award winning Lostwithiel Produce Market is held fortnightly at the Community Centre.

Like a Farmers Market, goods are sold by small-scale producers and smallholders. The producers themselves are available so that customers can ask questions about how the goods have been produced. The Produce Market is a social occasion for producers and customers to meet and chat over a cup of tea.

Produce is only available in season or when in production, and includes:

• free range meat, poultry, fish and eggs
• home made sausages, ham, and bacon
• vegetables, fruit and fruit juices, plants, flowers and herbs
• ice cream and cheeses
• chutneys, jams, marmalade and pickles
• bread, cakes and savouries
• home made cottage crafts

Antiques Fair and Market

Lostwithiel has long been known as the antiques capital of Cornwall due to the number of antiques shops as well as regular auctions, antiques markets and fairs.

The Lostwithiel Antiques Fair established 1989 is Cornwall's longest running antiques fair, with stalls selling antiques, paintings, ephemera, postcards, stamps, jewellery, silver and collectables.

The Antiques and Collectors Market is held fortnightly at the Community Centre on alternative weeks to the Produce Market. China, glass, books, jewellery, furniture, unusual collectables and affordable antiques - you'll find all this and more at Lostwithiel's friendly Friday antique market.
