No ticket needed — just turn up. Bring a bag, ours are all paper.

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
Bias Studio
Clothing
I upcycle wool coats and jackets with the original labels kept in as a record. Everything goes home in a paper bag or your own.
Brass Workshop
Jewellery
I cast small sculptural rings shaped around the wearer rather than a trend.
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.
Ferment Cordial
Drinks
We make botanical cordials from foraged flowers picked within a few miles of where we sell it.
Fire Grill
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment. We stopped using anything plastic in 2019 and have not looked back.
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.
Frond Plants
Plants & florals
I make dried flower arrangements from flowers grown and dried here, so they last for years. Pots are terracotta or recycled — none of them plastic.
Kitchen Kitchen
Preserves & pantry
I make small-batch chutneys and jams from fruit gleaned around Bucks that would otherwise go to waste. Labels are printed on recycled stock and hand-written.
Knot Studio
Woodwork
I make small furniture from storm-fallen timber finished with linseed oil and beeswax only.
Rapeseed Room
Candles & home fragrance
I pour rapeseed wax candles by hand in returnable glass, with a cotton wick and nothing synthetic.
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.
Spoon Yard
Woodwork
I carve spoons and boards from green wood from London plane and cherry felled by the council anyway.
Stitch Textiles
Textiles & accessories
I sew bags from salvaged sailcloth and canvas from offcuts that would otherwise be landfill. Nothing is wrapped in plastic — everything goes out in a cotton bag.
Stoneware Studio
Ceramics
I make small-batch tableware with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot.
The Ember Table
Streetfood
We make Neapolitan-style pizza from a converted trailer on a single gas ring, which keeps the menu honest.
The Green Bench
Plants & florals
I propagate herbs and salad plants all grown outdoors within eight miles of the market.
The Hemp Room
Homewares
I sew cushions from vintage fabric using curtains and blankets from house clearances.
The Ore Moon
Jewellery
I solder fine chains and stacking rings cast in my kitchen from recycled offcuts.
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.
The Wheel Kitchen
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.
Wander Pan
Streetfood
We cook Sri Lankan hoppers to order using British free-range meat and vegetables from our own allotment.
Windfall Larder
Preserves & pantry
I ferment hot sauces and kimchi with no pectin, no preservatives and nothing you cannot pronounce.
