From June 2010, Long Ashton had it’s own monthly village market on the first Saturday of every month, in the Village Hall.

It ended in 2025 but until then it attracted a large number of local people buying locally grown, reared or made food and crafts, including seasonal and organic, all produced within a 30 mile radius.

Stall holders included local food and craft businesses selling vegetables, meat, fish, cheese and bread, and Long Ashton residents selling homemade cakes, jams, pickles, plants and crafts. In addition, on market days the LA caféwas open in the Club Room, selling a range of drinks, delicious homemade cakes and snacks.

They had special events to showcase local crafts people demonstrating their skills, including cider making, wool spinning, and textile making.

There was a community stall available free of charge and available for any local community groups to use to promote their activities and/or fundraising.

The market was also lucky enough to have the talents of local musicians playing at the market.

The market also had its own website at www.longashtonvillagemarket.co.uk where you can find out more.
