Perth Farmers’ Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
One of Scotland's longest-running farmers markets, held on King Edward Street on the first Saturday of each month. Strong on Perthshire beef, lamb, and venison from surrounding Highland estates. The cheese selection is reliably good, with several Perthshire and Fife dairies represented. Smaller than Edinburgh or Glasgow but the producer quality is high and the setting — Perth's compact city centre — makes it easy to combine with other shopping.
