Christchurch Farmers' Market

Originally a Saxon settlement, Christchurch was also once a popular smugglers haven and was a busy port as boats could sail all the way up the River Avon to Salisbury; the harbour is now world famous for the number and variety of birds attracted by the rare marsh and sand habitat. 

The older part of the town is dominated by the Priory Church (the longest parish church in England) and many quaint houses, numerous restaurants and specialist shops around it. 

The farmers’ market is held on the first Friday of each month in Saxon Square just off the High Street; the local customers here enjoy the produce available from the 15 or so stall holders regularly attending:
