Alexandra Palace Farmers' Market

Every Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. normally just inside the 'Hornsey Gate', which is on the west side of the Park at the junction of Priory and Park Roads at the foot of Muswell Hill, beside Safestore. However on Sundays when there are major shows at the Palace, the market is held at Campsbourne Junior School, Nightingale Lane, N8. See market website for more details.
Freightliners City Farm Farmers' Market
Organic produce including fruit, veg, bread, juices and meat straight from growers in East Anglia. There will also be a selection of other items such as plants, gardening supplies, animal supplies, crafts and meals. The produce is supplied by Eostre, which is a co-operative of organic farmers. The aim of the market is to generate an income for Freightliners, allowing them to run additional educational events and offer training opportunities. As well as the market, the City Farm has goats, sheep, chickens, horses and much else, and there's a garden and picnic area.
