Rufford Abbey

An amazing venue we are proud to stand at

Rufford Abbey is the perfect home for Your Local Farmers’ and Producers’ Markets, blending history, beauty and community in a way few venues can match. Set within sweeping parkland and framed by the character of the ancient abbey ruins, the site naturally draws families, food lovers and day-trippers who come ready to relax, explore and shop with purpose. Wide, accessible paths, generous parking and a welcoming courtyard create an easy, unhurried atmosphere where visitors can meet the people behind their food and crafts. For YLFM, it’s more than a location – it’s a vibrant destination where local produce, rural skills and a real sense of connection come together brilliantly.
