Queen’s Park Farmers Market
Run by the Glasgow City Council, this farmer’s market occurs on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month, and its location (as the name suggests) is scenic and verdant; Queen’s Park offers 60 hectares of beautiful greenery. The market itself houses over 25 farmers and food producers who sell a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other foods, and there is often traditional Scottish music to be heard in the background.
