Thame
Market Day
- Tuesdays
The Market has been held on Tuesdays since 1230, the original site being the Buttermarket and Cornmarket areas. The Buttermarket is traditionally sited on the cooler north side, the Cornmarket on the south. The area of Middle Row, which separates the two, originally consisted of booths which were put up and taken down each week. They were gradually replaced by more permanent structures, one of these being the Birdcage. The Market is now held in the Upper High Street car park and is a bustling and colourful affair accommodating approximately 42 traders. Merchandise is many and varied and includes fruit and vegetables, clothes, underwear, books, pictures, fresh fish, fabric, aromatherapy products, linen, picked eggs, household goods, plants, handbags, pet foods, garden ornaments, basketware, bric-a-brac and the very popular WI produce stall. Farmers Market Held on the second Tuesday in the month through July to October 1999, this pilot scheme is proving a great success. Come and taste and savour the seasonal produce of the region, meet local farmers, growers and producers, and enjoy a great day out in historic Thame. Produce available includes fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry and game, organic and free range produce, baked goods and preserves, traditional and regional varieties and local wines and beers. Dates for 2000 to be arranged. Tel : 01844 212833 for more information. French
