Fife farm shop marks 12th year of free festive event
Balgove Larder, a farm shop in Fife, is inviting visitors to gather with friends and family at its annual Christmas Night Market and vintage Car Boot. The event is free to attend and promises festive shopping, food, warming drinks, live music and Christmas cheer.
Now in its 12th year, the market is welcoming back local food and drink producers, independent makers and artisans, alongside what Balgove Larder describes as “a sprinkling of exciting newcomers” bringing their own seasonal offerings. With sustainability central to the business, visitors can also browse The Car Boot, where curated vendors will sell vintage treasures.

A programme of free activities will run through the evening. From 4-6pm, children can take part in a Christmas Card Making Workshop, creating cards to give to someone special. At 6pm, Balgove Larder butchers and a chef will host an informal session, The Christmas Roast: From Butcher’s Block to Table, covering festive centrepieces from traditional turkey to rib of beef, along with flavours, preparation tips, cooking techniques and timings, with time for questions. At 6.30pm, Karma Curry will show ways to turn Christmas leftovers into curries, aimed at making use of Boxing Day leftovers.
