The Guelph Farmers’ Market has been a community cornerstone since 1827. One of Guelph’s oldest and most-loved community spaces offers fresh local food, artisanal products and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere year round.
With over 100 vendors offering a high level of quality, the Guelph Farmers’ Market now regularly attracts 2500+ people per week, ranging from local residents to tourists visiting the area. The Guelph Farmers’ Market continues a tradition of pride and community building supporting the local economy, sustainability and entrepreneurship.
As of March 1st, 2022, 10C Shared Space has assumed the operations and activation of the Farmers’ Market building, grounds and events therein – and we are excited to be on this journey of collaboration with the Guelph-Wellington community!

Events at the Market
In 2024, 10C began hosting community events in the Market building. Community members can also now book the Guelph Farmers’ Market for public or private events. In addition to accessible onsite parking, the Market is located right beside the market parkade in the heart of downtown Guelph.

Love Your Market
In 2023, 10C began the revitalization of the Guelph Farmers’ Market, in order to breathe new life into this underused space. From intimate coffee dates and small classes to weddings and trade shows, the updated building will offer a uniquely historic stage for gatherings of all shapes and sizes.
The goal is to enhance the market as a key local and regional gathering place and tourism destination. This will be achieved through building improvements, adding a commercial kitchen and promotional infrastructure to increase local food activities and special events.
