Most months, all three of these markets coincide with the first weekend of the month, creating what is popularly known as Triple Market Weekend! Visitors and shoppers can visit both Faversham Charter Market and Best on Faversham Market on the Saturday and then enjoy Faversham Antiques Market on the Sunday.
