Inverness Farmers’ Market cancelled for safety reasons for October with Met Office warning of heavy rain and storms to hit the Highlands

The Highlands’ biggest open-air market for farm produce has been cancelled this weekend with bad weather forecast to hit.

Inverness Farmers’ Market, held on the first Saturday of every month, will not take place on October 4 with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for rain later this week.

A statement by organisers said: “Due to the forecast storm and rain for Saturday 4th, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the market.

“The safety of market staff, stallholders and customers is our priority.

“We'll be back on Saturday 1st November. Look forward to seeing you then.”
