The market offers an assortment of delicious seasonal produce, grown and sourced in the local area. You can pick everything up from seasonal fruit and vegetables, to fresh meats, fish and bread with specialties such as cheese, chutneys and game.
It also has a good selection of craft stalls including soaps, candles and wood products.
Why not make a day of it when you come to Lenham, if you are lucky you might spot Lenham’s very own Town Crier who often makes an appearance. Most of the local shops open on market day. There are two pubs, tea rooms, antique rooms and a fish bar.
