The Village Centre is on the left hand side of the main road through the village, coming from the direction of Maidstone.
A few spaces at The Village Centre with further parking in the village & surrounding residential roads.
Monthly market running on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 10-1 at The Village Centre in Staplehurst.
We are proud to be a truly artisan market. Our crafters, artists and makers all sell products they have designed & made themselves, by hand. Our food producers use locally sourced, seasonal ingredients wherever possible, and produce in small batches for the market.
We have everything you need from fresh free-range eggs, to cakes, pastries and sourdough breads, artisan beers, organic nut butters, British charcuterie, locally roasted coffee and even a pantry essentials refill station! Our arts and crafts stalls offer a wide range of beautiful handmade gifts, arts, prints and more including candles, soaps and hand painted silk scarves.

I'm Justin Birch of Wadhurst, East Sussex and I've spent a highly enjoyable decade obsessively trying to create the perfect gin. It was worth the wait.
Our handcrafted gin made in copper pot stills is delighting customers across the UK.

Places To Visit
Where to eat
The Lord Ragland
Kings Head
King Edward I invited the Flemings to settle in Cranbrook in 1237 to teach the English how to process wool. The wealth built into the solid timber houses of the Staplehurst clothiers and yeomen. The woollen industry collapsed in the Weald about 1650,
Staplehurst was on the South Eastern Railway's route from London to Dover, which provided that escape to the outside world which roads had not given. The first commuter of note was Henry Hoare the Fleet Street banker, who settled at Iden in the 1840's. He restored the church in 1853. Lesser commuters bought houses built along Station Road, Marden Road and Headcorn Road in the 1890's.
