About the Market
WE’RE PROUD TO HAVE WON THE AWARD LAST YEAR OF BEING THE BEST FARMERS’ MARKET IN THE UK by the Farm Retail Association. The award-winning Moseley Farmers’ Market takes place at the crossroads in the centre of Moseley – on the Village Green between Alcester Road & St Mary’s Row – Every last Saturday of the month from 9 am till 2 pm.
OUR NEXT MARKET IS ON THE 28 SEPTEMBER
The market has been running here since it was set up back in 2000 in an effort to invigorate the central area of Moseley. You can read more about our history here.
Moseley Farmers’ Market has won the award for Best Urban Farmers’ Market at the FARMA (now FRA) Retail Food Awards in both 2009, again in 2012 and yet again in 2016, and finally in 2023 ; – the ONLY farmers’ market to have won this prestigious award four times from FARMA – the National Farmers’ Retail & Markets Association (now the Farm Retail Association). We also came runners up for the past two years (2021 and 2022). These awards are given to those who exemplify a passion for local food, a commitment to farming and the environment, a talent for retail, and the fruits of a lot of hard work.

We currently have enough space for about 56 stalls: every month we can have up to a dozen people applying for a stall but sadly we can’t take them all: most either end up on a waiting list or don’t actually meet our requirements as a ‘real’ farmers’ Market where local food sources predominate, natural resources are local or there is an enhanced process to add value to the product. We also have stalls at either end of the market that are there for the community even though the products aren’t local, such as olives, fish and coffee beans and tea leaves. You can find out more about our fantastic farmers here and produce you can find in season here.
Running alongside the Farmers’ Market there will be a few Arts stalls from the Moseley Arts’ Market with its stalls on Victoria Parade opposite the Farmers’ Market on the Village Green.
We are always on the lookout for new traders who can complement and add to the market and welcome enquiries and applications. If you are a farmer or food producer interested in joining us, please read through our ‘join us’ page and get in touch. Alternatively, come along to the next market and introduce yourself to us – we’ll be at the community stall.

Moseley Farmers’ Market is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and as well as providing a wonderful community resource in the form of the farmers’ market, any surplus we make is put back into supporting local groups, causes, and charities; in fact to date we are proud to have put over £100k into the local community in the form of gifts and support for various projects including Christmas Lights for Moseley, projects for the elderly, children, the homeless and the Christmas Day Together scheme – and now the redevelopment of the fabric of the Village centre starting with the new station access road and cycle layout
