Popular Night Markets at St Andrews' Balgove Larder set to return for tenth year

The Night Markets, which are held within the distinctive Steak Barn at Balgove, offer a unique atmosphere for visitors to shop local, learn about food production, enjoy hands-on crafts and more.

Alongside browsing what’s on offer from the vendors, guests can enjoy a variety of street food from a changing line up of food trucks as well as street style food from the Steak Barn and the Eat Out hut.

Vendors attending the monthly markets include some of the best local traders from Fife and beyond.

Shoppers will also be able to enjoy live music as they explore the finest local offerings with everything from Scottish sweets, award-winning honey and wine to artisanal preserves, baked treats and handmade crafts.

The Night Markets at Balgove are free to attend and take place on the first Tuesday of the month from 5pm to 9pm, between May and September.

The first of this year’s events takes place on Tuesday, May 7.

For 2024 there’s also the return of the popular butchery and cookery demonstrations, as well as floral workshops at the Garden Shed and engaging talks and demonstrations led by local producers.

The farm shop at Balgove Larder will also remain open for the events.

Will Docker, founder of Balgove Larder, said: “This year marks a decade of our Night Markets and we’ve put together a programme of truly outstanding vendors.

"Balgove Larder is all about celebrating the very best of local produce and these events provide a special opportunity to meet and chat to the people behind these outstanding food and drink businesses. This year we’re enabling visitors to explore even more of what we do with new demonstrations and workshops.”
