The Farmer’s Market is a much-loved family event on Bahrain’s social calendar. So, naturally, everyone is overjoyed at the fact that the market will continue this Ramadan at a slightly different timing than usual. For the first three weeks of Ramadan, the Farmer’s Market continues every Saturday from 1pm to 6pm with some of the best local produce, plants and more market favourites available at an excellent price. At night, you can enjoy a completely different market at the same venue with the Ramadan Night Market from 8.30pm to midnight. What makes this market unique is the bazaar feel with traditional food and Ramadan staples, clothing, traditional crafts, honey, art and more available. It’s sure to be a unique experience for you to enjoy with family and friends! Follow @farmersbh on Instagram.
