Great Shelford Country Market: 50th Anniversary Celebration

First established in 1976 as a WI Market, it has remained a much-loved weekly fixture ever since. Today, it continues to run as a friendly, non-profit co‑operative where everything on offer is home-made, home-grown, or hand-crafted by local producers.

Visitors to this special celebration can enjoy a lively 70s-themed atmosphere, complete with a nostalgic soundtrack, decorations, memorabilia, and children’s activities. There will also be a wide range of quality goods, including fresh baking, jams, chutneys, local honey, seasonal produce, plants, flowers, and a variety of unique crafts. The popular café area will be open, offering a welcoming space to relax with a tea or coffee and a homemade treat.

This milestone event promises to be a memorable morning, celebrating both the market’s history and its role as a valued community hub. Everyone is warmly invited to come along, enjoy the atmosphere, and be part of this landmark occasion.
