Sturminster Newton Farmers' Market

The unspoilt market town of Sturminster Newton lies on the edge of the Blackmore Vale above a bend in the River Stour and retains a pleasantly old-fashioned air. 

The church (or minster) from which it gets its name is an imposing building with a 15th century tower.  The town has undergone a good deal of change in recent years with the closure of the famous cattle market, one of the largest in Europe, followed by the closure of the Dairy Crest milk factory, however, much hard work has gone into revitalising the town with the building of a new town hall complex – The Exchange - and the enhancement of the attractive market place in the town centre.
