Every stall here packs in paper, glass or compostable material. No exceptions.
Meet the makers
Ash Company
Woodwork
I turn bowls on a pole lathe with hand tools, so you can hear me working at the market.
Bramble Kitchen
Preserves & pantry
I preserve whatever the orchards give me using surplus from farms within twenty miles.
Brass Workshop
Jewellery
I cast small sculptural rings shaped around the wearer rather than a trend. Boxes are card, not plastic — the little bags are cotton.
Cutting Room
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic. The whole stall is grown by me, which limits it and I like that.
Fire Kitchen
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable.
Flint Canteen
Streetfood
We cook Georgian khachapuri fresh on the griddle with cheese from a dairy eleven miles from the market.
Flour Kitchen
Bakery & cakes
I make Persian pastries and cardamom buns and nothing leaves the oven more than fourteen hours before market.
Folio Studio
Print & illustration
I make screen prints in two or three colours of the river, the deer park and the birds on them. Cards and prints — the cards keep the lights on.
Glaze Larder
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white. Mugs, jugs and serving bowls made to be used daily.
Rapeseed Room
Candles & home fragrance
I pour rapeseed wax candles by hand in returnable glass, with a cotton wick and nothing synthetic.
Roam Kitchen
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable.
Rush Homewares
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances. Made to be handed down rather than replaced.
Seed Bench
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic.
Slip Studio
Ceramics
I throw and hand-carve porcelain in muted glazes tested over two years.
Sourdough Table
Bakery & cakes
I make Polish babka and cinnamon buns in small batches, in my own kitchen, licensed and inspected. The seconds bag at the end of the day is the best value on the stall.
Spoon Yard
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway. No varnish, no lacquer, nothing you would not eat off.
The Green Bench
Plants & florals
I propagate herbs and salad plants all grown outdoors within eight miles of the market.
The Kiln Works
Glass
I make stained glass panels and hangings using lead-free came and salvaged antique glass. All the raw material is somebody’s empties.
The Press Cordial
Drinks
We roast single-origin coffee in small drums on direct trade beans, with the price paid printed on every bag. Cans and glass only — everything is returnable or recyclable.
The Wander Kitchen
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before. Vegan by default, with dairy as the option rather than the other way round.
Organised by
Moderate refunds. Full refund available until 7 days before the event.
