BRILL COMMUNITY MARKET (& brill Christmas market)
NEXT community MARKET : SATURDAY january 18th 2025
Brill has had a bustling weekly market for centuries; way back to Medieval times when Brill enjoyed the patronage of royalty. That market is now monthly; usually (but not always) on the third Saturday of the month, throughout the year (except August and December). Why not come along? Pick up a newspaper from Constables, pop into the Pointer Butchers, buy your free-range eggs from Mrs Furminger nearby, and wander round to All Saints Church from 9.30am to noon for coffee and a bacon roll, chat with friends and neighbours, and a browse through a wonderful selection of quality homemade gifts and produce, bric-à-brac, pre-loved items and other delights.
Check our Facebook page for updates or scroll down to meet some of our regulars and find out more about the Brill Christmas Market.

Brill Parish Council
We’re not always sitting down on the job - but we do try to be at every community market, come rain or shine. Sometimes we have a poll to do or a particular topic to share; more usually we’re just here to listen to you - so please just come and say hello and tell us what you think we could all be doing to make Brill an even better place.

Kind Hearts & Castaways
Welcome to an eclectic emporium of retro, vintage and handmade delights. I sell greetings cards, homewares, hair accessories, lavender-filled gifts, fabric-covered notebooks, seasonal gifts and so much more! There will always be something different. I use lots of Liberty Tana Lawn, designer fabrics, tweeds, and vintage finds to make original and unique gifts for all the family.

Anne’s Handmade Cards
I’ve been making greetings cards for many years now. It’s really just a hobby but (after covering my costs) I’ve raised a few thousand pounds along the way for national and local charities and good causes, including The British Heart Foundation, cancer charities, Thomley (a magical place for people of all abilities and disabilities in Worminghall) and the new Long Crendon surgery.
Brill Christmas Market
Brill Christmas Market is an off-shoot to the monthly Community Market - but much bigger. The 2024 market, organised by a volunteer committee led by Rev Gemma of All Saints Church, surpassed all expectations. We hosted over 30 stalls; a dozen in the church with others in nearby Brill Memorial Hall - plus hot food, coffee and crumpets, mince pies and mulled wine, carols and a pop-up concert - and Santa Claus in the belfry. It was great!
Brill Christmas Market 2025 is likely to be run along similar lines so please follow these links to read more - and email us if you are interested in having a stall.
