Outdoor Markets - The BIG Truro Market

We have continued to support a regular, monthly outdoor market on Lemon Quay for the last few years by making a small contribution to Cornwall Shop Small's operational costs.

The BIG Truro Market, hosted by Truro Farmers Market and Cornwall Shop Small, consists of locally created and curated wares from independent traders, with Truro Farmers Market produce stalls.

The objective of markets is to generate new and additional customer footfall into the city that will potentially benefit many other businesses, including hospitality.

To help bring outdoor markets to the city, we were awarded Accelerated Capital Funding from the Truro Towns Fund to purchase market equipment.

For three years, until 2023, we supported the popular Truro Antiques and Collectables Market to come to the city by lending out our gazebos, part funding and delivering marketing activity. In 2026, we relaunch the Truro Antiques and Collectables Market by hosting a one day event at High Cross, outside Truro Cathedral.
