Leigh-on-Sea Town Council has announced that a farmers market will take place in the town on Saturday, 30 May 2026. The event, which runs from 10.00am to 2.00pm, will offer residents a chance to browse goods from a variety of local traders.
Visitors can expect to find a range of artisan products and produce at the market. Confirmed vendors for the day include Plant Faced Coffee, Flour and Spoon, AJ Almond, Foxglove Apothecary, Ann Cushion, Lauriston Farm, Samosa Shack, Cheesecake on Sea, and Bev’s Bags.
The market is part of the council’s wider efforts to support local businesses and provide services to the community. For those visiting the area, the historic Leigh Library on Broadway West remains open to the public, though the first floor is currently closed for essential repairs, according to Southend-on-Sea City Council. The library is housed in a Grade II listed building that dates back to 1838.
While the library continues to serve the community, it has previously faced concerns regarding potential closure due to budget pressures on the local library service. In addition to supporting the town’s facilities, the council is seeking volunteers to join the Friends of Leigh Library Gardens group. Those interested can help maintain and improve the green space surrounding the library building.
