The market takes place at the Potato Market site, (beside the Presbyterian church), on Saturdays between 10am and 3pm since it resumed last November.

A variety of produce including organic fruit and vegetables, bread and baked goods, a butcher with free range meat, fresh fish, olives, honey and bee products as well as a range of hot food stalls are on sale weekly.
