Lenham Country Market

2nd Sunday of the month

Open to the public between 9am and 1pm

Venue: Lenham Square, Lenham, Maidstone, Kent ME17 2PG

Set in the picturesque square in the village Lenham’s Market was granted its original Market Charter by King John in 1206. The current market started in 2000 and operates on the second Sunday of every month.

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.

Lenham Country Market was a finalist in the Best UK Market category of the Farm Shop and Deli Awards 2018 and was announced as a finalist in the Best Farmers Market Category of the Farm Retail Association 2020 awards. 

Back in the Summer 2022 Lenham Country Market was filmed for the BBC1 programme The Farmers Country Showdown. The programme follows two of the stallholders from the market and also at the Market itself.
