Hexham Farmers Market is a long established market in the heart of the historic town of Hexham in Northumberland. The producers come from within a 50 mile range of the town and they are all passionate about what they do. They make their own products using a high percentage of locally produced ingredients, so the meat you buy at Hexham Farmers’ Market is reared by the producer and the vegetables are locally grown. The market has around 25 producers who come to the market on a regular basis and you can find out about most of them on the producer’s page for Hexham Market. A vast array of local produce, jewelry and crafts are on offer.
By shopping at the market you get access to an excellent range of foods and other products that have been produced in the area, you know what you’re buying is fresh and you’ll be able to talk to the producers about how they farm and how they make their products. Often you will also be able to taste what’s on offer. In addition you support a wide range of small food producers and you make you money work positively for the local economy.
Hexham is home to the beautiful Sele Park, floral gardens in the town centre, and the stunning grounds of Hexham House. Beneath the charming market town, Hexham holds a biology history of marauding Vikings, and England’s first purpose-built prison, Hexham Old Gaol, which can be traced back to the 1300s.
Enjoy Hexham Old Gaol museum which was built using stone from the nearby Corbridge Roman site. The Border History Library within the Old Gaol is home to a fascinating collection of photographs, books, poetry and music about our border territory. Feast your eyes on a wealth of artefacts, descend into the dungeons, and try out the stocks – if you dare…
Boasting the impressive Hexham Abbey, this town never fails to impress. The monastery-turned-abbey was built in 674 AD, and the eerie crypt from the original building still remains today, with some of the dusty stones coming from the Roman ruins of Hadrian’s Wall. The abbey is a peaceful place of solace and refuge, where visitors can admire awe-inspiring architecture, 7th century sculptures, and 15th century painted wooden panels. The Abbey also hosts a delightful craft fair.
Opposite the abbey, you will find the Queen’s Hall Arts Centre, a magnificent Victorian building which attracts the best international and national artists from music, drama, and dance, as well as nestling away two art galleries. The Queens Hall is also home to the town’s library and visitor information centre.
