Burford Farmers' Market
Held on the first Saturday of every month in the Guildhall car park just off the High Street, Burford Farmers' Market draws producers from across the Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire countryside — proper farm-gate trading rather than repackaged supermarket fare.
What to Expect at the Stalls
Around 20–25 stallholders set up by 09:00, offering seasonal vegetables, rare-breed meats, artisan cheeses from local dairies, freshly baked sourdough and jars of Cotswold honey. The quality is consistently high because the market enforces a strict local-producer rule.
Look out for Wychwood Forest Honey, whose beekeeper explains exactly which wildflower meadows his bees have been working that season — it makes buying a jar feel like a small adventure rather than a transaction.
Hot food stalls usually include wood-fired flatbreads and locally roasted coffee, so arriving hungry is a sensible strategy.
Making a Morning of It
Combine the market with a stroll down the High Street and you have a perfect Cotswolds Saturday morning loop — buy cheese and charcuterie at the market, pick up a sourdough loaf, then find a bench by the Windrush for an impromptu picnic.
The market wraps up around 13:00, so there is plenty of time to browse without rushing. Bring a canvas bag; most stallholders appreciate you skipping the plastic.
