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. Every piece names the tree it came from and where it stood.
Beeswax Field
Candles & home fragrance
I pour rapeseed wax candles by hand in returnable glass, with a cotton wick and nothing synthetic.
Bramble Hollow
Bath & body
I make solid shampoo and conditioner bars so nothing needs a plastic bottle to hold it. Palm-free since I started, which is harder than it sounds.
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.
Cutting Room
Plants & florals
I grow houseplants from cuttings in peat-free compost, in terracotta rather than plastic.
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. Labels are printed on recycled stock and hand-written.
Slip Studio
Ceramics
I throw and hand-carve porcelain in muted glazes tested over two years.
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.
Wander Pan
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment.
Wild Drinks
Drinks
We brew kombucha in fifty-litre batches with nothing but tea, sugar, time and fruit. Refills into your own bottle, always cheaper than a new one.
