The Sussex Peasant Big Summer Markets

If you are looking for a way to spend a Saturday morning, The Sussex Peasant Big Summer Markets are returning to Queen's Park on 20 June 2026. It is a straightforward setup where the focus is entirely on connecting people with the source of their food. The market brings together a variety of Sussex farmers, growers, bakers, and independent producers, creating a space where you can pick up seasonal vegetables, artisan bread, local cheeses, and fresh flowers directly from the people who make or grow them.

The event runs from 09:00 to 15:00, and it is designed to be a relaxed environment for anyone interested in seasonal eating or simply supporting local producers. While this specific market is happening in Queen's Park (BN2 0BP), it is part of a wider series of markets that pop up across different locations in Sussex, including spots like Preston Park, St Anne’s, Ditchling, and Cuckfield. It is a practical option if you prefer to know exactly where your groceries come from and want to avoid the usual supermarket routine.

There is no entry fee for the market, so you can just turn up and browse at your own pace. It is the kind of event that works well if you are planning a walk through the park or just need to restock your kitchen with fresh, local ingredients for the week ahead. Whether you are a regular at these types of markets or just curious about what local producers are offering this season, it is a simple, community-focused way to spend a few hours on a Saturday.
