As the year comes to a close at Tresemple Farm, the final Farmyard Markets of the season are set to take place on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th. These dates mark the last markets Tresemple will host this year, bringing together festive food, local traders, and one final opportunity to visit the farm before Christmas.
For many visitors, these markets have become a regular part of the Tresemple calendar. Hosting them on the farm allows us to showcase local producers, welcome the community onto the land, and give people a closer connection to where their food comes from.
The final markets of the year carry a different energy. With Christmas just days away, the farm takes on a distinctly festive feel. Lights, seasonal food, and the atmosphere of last-minute Christmas preparation make these markets a fitting way to close out the year at Tresemple Farm in Truro, Cornwall.
Friday evening offers a relaxed end-of-week visit to the farm, while Saturday offers a fuller daytime experience for families and visitors who want to browse, eat, and enjoy the surroundings.
Once these dates pass, the markets pause until the new year, making this the last chance to experience them in 2025.
A core reason Tresemple Farm hosts the Farmyard Market is to support independent Cornish traders and food producers. The final festive markets bring together a broad mix of stalls, from artisan food and drink to handmade gifts and homeware.
Hosting these traders on the farm allows visitors to shop locally in a setting that reflects Tresemple’s values. Quality, transparency, and community sit at the heart of both the farm and the markets it hosts, making these events a natural extension of what Tresemple stands for year-round.
For us, these final markets are especially important as they are the last opportunity for visitors to secure a Tresemple Christmas roast directly from the farm.
Tresemple’s beef and lamb roasts are produced in limited quantities, using farming methods that prioritise animal welfare, soil health, and flavour. Demand increases sharply in the lead-up to Christmas, and once the remaining joints are gone, no further roasts will be available.
Visitors attending the markets can speak directly with the Tresemple team about availability, cuts, and ordering. Roasts can also be reserved via the website or by contacting the farm, but these final market dates often see the last of the Christmas stock secured.
Hosting the Farmyard Market allows Tresemple Farm to open its gates to the local community in a welcoming, accessible way. Free parking, a relaxed farm setting, and space for families and dogs all help create an environment where visitors can slow down and enjoy the experience.
For many, these final markets have become a tradition. They offer a chance to visit the farm, support local businesses, and prepare for Christmas in a way that feels grounded and local.
If a Tresemple Christmas roast is on your list, or you would like to enjoy one last festive visit to the farm, these dates are not to be missed. You can also learn who’ll be at the final two markets by reading The Farmyard Market’s latest post.
