Forres Farmers' Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
A small Moray market in the heart of whisky country. Forres sits between Speyside and the Moray Firth coast, so the producers reflect both — Speyside honey, Moray Firth smoked fish, local beef, and seasonal vegetables from the fertile Laich of Moray. The market runs April to December only (Moray winters are too cold for outdoor markets to be practical). Small enough that you'll see everything in 30 minutes, but the producer quality is consistent. Combine with a visit to Benromach distillery, a 10-minute walk from the town centre.
