Éplessier Flea Market and Plant Market

The Éplessier flea market, bargain hunting and gardening in one event

On Sunday 19 April 2026, Éplessier, a small village of the eastern Santerre, organizes its traditional flea market combined with a plant market. This original formula, which associates two complementary events, attracts around fifty exhibitors and offers visitors the chance to combine the pleasures of bargain hunting and garden passion in a single day.

The flea market-plant market principle

More and more Picardy rural communes adopt this mixed formula that maximizes visitor interest: on one hand, traditional flea market stalls offer bric-à-brac, tableware, clothes, toys and various items; on the other, plant market exhibitors present vegetable seedlings, flowers, shrubs, cuttings and seeds.

Éplessier, a village of the eastern Santerre

Éplessier is a small rural commune of the eastern Santerre, near Poix-de-Picardie and the Vimeu. Typical of this part of the Somme, it is characterized by dispersed housing, a dominant agricultural vocation and discreet but authentic rural heritage: Saint-Martin church, traditional Picardy farms, plains and groves landscapes.

Around fifty exhibitors, Picardy atmosphere

With 50 expected exhibitors, the Éplessier flea market remains human-scale. The atmosphere is typically Picardy: friendly, good-natured, conducive to discussions and bargaining.

An ideal day to prepare the garden

The event's timing, mid-April, is perfect for gardeners: it's the ideal period for summer vegetable plantings (tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines) and many annual flowers. The Éplessier plant market allows acquiring at low prices all the seedlings needed for a beautiful summer garden.
