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.
This year, we expect to have over 120 stalls in the grounds of Manor Farm, selling homeware, gardenware, plants, clothing and jewellery, much of it vintage, antique and/or collectible as well as artisan food and drink. And, a further 20 stalls in the Church which is again housing the Craft Fair.
We have entertainment planned for all to include our traditional favourites; the Royston Town Band and rides on a miniature steam train; as well as a new addition this year; Squirty Wirty the Clown. Barkway School and Preschool will be hosting their pop-up café, the Church will be selling tea and cake and bacon rolls aplenty as well as providing a bar.
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. If you’d like to be a part of the market by helping on the day, we’d be happy to include you. Please email bookings.barkwaymarket@gmail.com
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.
The market itself will be in Manor Farm which is set back from the High Street behind the village school. There is a small charge of £3 per adult and children 16 and under enter free of charge. The pedestrian entrance is by the village duck pond. Parking is free and this year will be accessed via Royston Road, the postcode for SatNav purposes is SG8 8BT.
