During your stay why not visit the local Shepton Mallet Market? Taking place at the heart of Shepton every Friday and every 3rd Sunday of the month it is a fantastic place to pick up some local produce to enjoy during your stay! We love to support our local businesses and try to encourage you to do the same! Markets are the perfect way to find local produce and support the smaller businesses among us.
Set up around the historic Market Cross there are stalls for your every delight. Whether it’s flowers 🌸 or fish 🐟 or a good Somerset cheese 🧀 come and have a look around! 👀 Not to forget the vegetable stall, the pet store, the Olive Deli and the bakery plus many more delights. Go and take a peek on a wonderful sunny day!🌞

Here at Friars Oven Farm Hideaways we are very conscious of our environment and the ways that we can reduce our carbon footprint and help to preserve the wonderful idyllic countryside we experience today. As we are a natural countryside place we have tried to reflect this in becoming a "green" business.
The ways that have developed our green ethical stamp:

-We provide you with composting bins in each studio to encourage our guests to compost resulting in reduced food waste in landfill.

-We provide you with solely organic produce.

-We use local produce where possible to ensure that our produce has come from ethical sources and also low air-mileage. Plus we get to support our local businesses!

-We homemake our bread and our cake not only so that you get the freshest and tastiest supplies, but also so that we know that nothing unethical and nasty has gone into it.

-We heat our facilities using renewable systems: an air-sourced heat pump.

-The electricity for our facilites is from renewable systems: solar panels. In addition to this, in Tawny Owl we have no electricity at all, all lights are solar powered, from the main lights, to the twinkly fairy lights to the lanterns.

Ways that you can help us to sustain and maintain our green ethical stamp is:

-Please use the composting bins provided in each studio to reduce the food waste that goes to landfill.

-Please recycle everything possible in the bins provided outside your accommodation to reduce our contributions to landfill.

-Please turn off lights when not needed.

-Please keep windows and doors closed so as to save on heating costs.
