Barkway Market
Saturday 2nd May 2020 10am - 4pm
Cancelled
Update in light of the Coronavirus outbreak...
We are very sorry to announce that because of the current public health emergency we have been left with no choice but to cancel the Barkway Market due to be held on Saturday 2nd May. Our concerns, first and foremost, must be for the health of all members of the community, including stallholders, visitors and our indispensable volunteers, many of whom may not be available.
We know how important Barkway Market is to local people, visitors from further afield and to stallholders, and we are naturally devastated to have had to made this decision. We know you will understand and hope you will continue to support our wonderful stallholders during such difficult times.
We are, exceptionally, disapplying Clause 6 of our terms and conditions and will be making a full refund to everyone who has booked a stall. Stallholders should have already received an email from us regarding their reimbursement.
We hope everyone can stay safe and please keep an eye out for anyone who needs a helping hand.

Barkway Village Market Organising Committee
Our famous Market has become a Hertfordshire tradition in its own right. It's Barkway's big day and typically attracts around 4,000 visitors from miles around.
Set in the grounds of one of Barkway's attractive old houses, the market is a quintessential English day out.
The market is organised by a team of volunteers working with the committee of Barkway Village Hall to raise funds and is supported by several other village societies, including the 7th Royston Barkway Beavers Scouts, Barkway Church and Friends of Barkway & Barley School (FOBBS) and Barkway Preschool.
The origins of Barkway Market can be traced back to 1270. It was re-established in 1977 as a "Street Market", when Molly Bruce, Mr Fidler and others wanted to raise money for a village party to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. There have been over 30 Markets since then.
