The Henfield Weekly Market Reaches a Milestone

This year the Henfield Weekly Market celebrates two years of adventurous and community-driven ethos following the hiatus caused by the pandemic. This was reactivated under the leadership of Carmel Guerin, Vivienne Whitton and Angela Manuel, together with the excellent administration of Norah Mills,

Kindly facilitated and diligently supported by the Henfield Hall, the Henfield Weekly Market has a reputation for friendliness, conviviality and a positive, uplifting vibe. All this intermixed with coffee, homemade scones and authentic bacon butties means that it is attracting an appreciative and growing cohort each week. 

A wide range of unique items can be purchased at the Henfield Weekly Market including bespoke jewellery, memory bears and quilts, upcycled glass, preserves, haberdashery, country-wear and curios. All these and more now enliven an early morning browse of the market, while its championing of a sustainable fashion boutique is also gaining popularity.

With a focus on the local, Henfield Weekly Market is very proud of championing of local artisans. It provides a supportive environment for small enterprises that work and live within a ten-mile radius with a view towards enabling them to grow larger.

Henfield Weekly Market also upholds and supports numerous local charities through its resale of donated items and over the past two years a total sum of £5,000 has been donated. From the homeless to the Haven, and from felines to food bank, over 25 different local and national charities have been supported – an incredible achievement! The organisers are especially thankful of the goodwill, both in giving, but also in purchasing items of interest by all patrons of the market.
