Doynton Village Market:  is trading on Saturdays December 7th and 21st, although the 21st will mainly be to pick up orders, but please do stop by for a tea or coffee. Stop Press: sausage breakfast baps may be on offer! In January 2025, we will not be open on the 1st Saturday (January 4th) but will resume on the 3rd Saturday, January 18th, then February 7th and 21st.

We have on sale home-made Christmas puddings and will be taking orders for mince pies and any other Christmas products, as well as our usual cakes, puddings, chocolate truffles, fudges, etc. If you want anything for the festive season, please pre-order. We have a producer who specializes in gluten-free products and will take Christmas orders, think nut roasts and sweet treats. Plus we have a selection of apple juices for sale, fresh vegetables and eggs. Alongside the food, we have some producers with a varied selection of cards and pictures plus home-made collectable soft figures and sewn and knitted products: please come along and you may find something unique!

The last market in November had a great buzz about it, with some new customers joining us; it's always nice to stop and realize that you are hearing lots of conversations going on over teas and coffees. Going into December: this year, sadly, we will not be doing Christmas meat orders, but one producer did bring along some sausages made from the rare breed pigs (Oxford Sandy and Black) which her son (an agricultural student) is keeping on their smallholding in the woodland and orchard, snaffling up the fallen apples. There may be a limited supply of frozen sausages available throughout December: if you would like to try some, please ring/message to order on 07711 670704.

To all of our customers who have supported us throughout 2024, a BIG thank-you, you help to make the market what it is, and keep us serving you on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month. We all wish you a happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you in 2025.
