Good to know
Free entry
No ticket needed — just turn up. Bring a bag, ours are all paper.
Dogs welcome
Dogs are welcome on a lead, and there is always a water bowl going.
No single-use plastic
Every stall here packs in paper, glass or compostable material. No exceptions.
Meet the makers
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.
Chalk Cheese
Cheese & charcuterie
We age farmhouse cheddar on the farm in a cave under the barn, which sounds grander than it is. We wrap in waxed paper — no plastic on the stall at all.
Cullet House
Glass
I fuse and slump kiln-formed glass from bottles collected at these very markets.
Ember Cart
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest.
Ember Spoon
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before.
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.
Harvest Table
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time.
Marbled Papers
Stationery
I hand-bind notebooks with recycled paper and linen thread, sewn not glued. Offcuts become the little notebooks, so nothing is wasted.
Roam Kitchen
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable.
Slip Pottery
Ceramics
I make small-batch tableware with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot.
Slip Studio
Ceramics
I throw and hand-carve porcelain in muted glazes tested over two years. Everything is fired twice in a shared kiln in Brentford.
Smoke Streetfood
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable. Vegan by default, with dairy as the option rather than the other way round.
Sourdough Table
Bakery & cakes
I make Polish babka and cinnamon buns in small batches, in my own kitchen, licensed and inspected.
Stoneware Lane
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself. Seconds go on the table at the end and always sell first.
The Balm Company
Bath & body
I blend balms and oils from herbs I grow cured for six weeks before it reaches the stall. Palm-free since I started, which is harder than it sounds.
The Ember Harbour
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels finished with ash glazes I mix myself. Everything is fired twice in a shared kiln in Brentford.
The Ember Table
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest. We serve until it runs out, which on a good Sunday is by two.
The Ore Moon
Jewellery
I solder fine chains and stacking rings cast in my kitchen from recycled offcuts.
The Reworked Wardrobe
Clothing
I make children’s clothes from deadstock cotton in sizes 6 to 24 because that is the whole point. No new fabric is bought for anything on this rail.
The Wander Kitchen
Streetfood
We do one thing — a proper toasted sandwich with everything prepped from scratch the morning before.
Wheel Table
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
