Closed: Survey on Lewes Farmers Market

Lewes Farmers Market takes place on the first and third Saturdays of the month at Friars Walk car park from 9am to 1pm.

The market started 25 years ago, at a time when there was only one other farmers market in England and is run by a local community interest group, Common Cause. Its principles are around local producers, environmental protection, high animal welfare standards, and minimum food miles and packaging.

The survey has now closed.

We were interested to know how people travel to the market, whether they do other things in Lewes on Farmers Market days, and thoughts on the current location and timings. We were also interested to know whether respondents are more or less likely to visit Lewes town centre on market days.

A summary of responses will be prepared for the Lewes District Council Policy and Performance Advisory Committee on Thursday 13 March 2025 at 5pm.
