Every stall here packs in paper, glass or compostable material. No exceptions.
Meet the makers
Bench Company
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway. Re-oiling is free, bring it back any time.
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.
Copper Pantry
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time. Labels are printed on recycled stock and hand-written.
Ember Cart
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest.
Fire Grill
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment.
Flint Canteen
Streetfood
We cook Georgian khachapuri fresh on the griddle with cheese from a dairy eleven miles from the 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.
Frond Plants
Plants & florals
I make dried flower arrangements from flowers grown and dried here, so they last for years.
Glaze Larder
Ceramics
I throw functional stoneware on the wheel glazed in soft oatmeal, sage and off-white.
Harvest Table
Preserves & pantry
I make marmalade from Seville oranges once a year in copper pans, twelve jars at a time. Labels are printed on recycled stock and hand-written.
Roam Kitchen
Streetfood
We run a small Ethiopian kitchen and every box, fork and cup we hand over is compostable. We stopped using anything plastic in 2019 and have not looked back.
Rush Homewares
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances. Made to be handed down rather than replaced.
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.
The Beeswax Room
Candles & home fragrance
I roll and dip pure beeswax tapers scented only with essential oils.
The Clay Field
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.
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.
Windfall Larder
Preserves & pantry
I ferment hot sauces and kimchi with no pectin, no preservatives and nothing you cannot pronounce. Metal lids and glass, nothing plastic anywhere in the packaging.
