IMPORTANT UPDATE!
The market team have been anxiously watching the weather apps all week and sadly it’s not looking great for Sunday. Rather than cancelling the market we have taken the decision to re-locate. Our incredibly supportive sponsors Archerfield Walled Garden have come to the rescue and the market will now take place in the Barn and outdoor area.
If you can please spread the word about the change of venue that would be fab. Looking forward to a great market day in a more sheltered venue!

Vendors please check your emails with more info

Where it all began!

After visiting the store in Truro back in 2023 and meeting Ruth Huxley, I was inspired to replicate her wonderful books in East Lothian and thus Land,Sea & Hills began!

Fast forward to 2026 and what a delight it was to present Ruth with her own copy of the book she inspired!

This shows how invaluable learning journeys are and collaborating with other food groups within Scotland and the UK! Thank you and for facilitating these wonderful trips.
