Vibrant, fun and Great team to work with. Caron and her Duckies are an absolute hands on team working hard to make our lives easy for traders. Admire the quality of the markets and the commitment to sustainability and ethical standards.
Thank you to all for supporting Khoki this year and look forward seeing you soon in 2026!

Everything was great

We had one of the best experiences we’ve ever had as stall holders at Duckpond Market. It’s a truly inclusive and welcoming environment where makers and independent small businesses come together to showcase their products and sell directly to customers.

We really value the ethos of Duckpond Market and the genuine support it provides to small businesses. The sense of community is amazing; we made meaningful connections with other stall holders as well as customers, and it genuinely felt like being part of a big family.

We would highly recommend Duckpond Markets to anyone considering becoming a stall holder, as well as to customers looking to support independent makers and discover unique products.

Stallholder Review – Colne Valley Honey

I had a fantastic day trading at Chiswick House & Gardens for the extended Christmas Market. It’s a brilliant venue and a great setting for the event.

This was my first time selling at a Duck Pond Market, and I was really pleased with the interest from customers, the questions about my beekeeping process, and their reactions to tasting my honey. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into it from both my bees and me, so it’s always rewarding to see people enjoy it!

A thank you to Marley, the market marquee host, who was welcoming, helpful, and supportive throughout the day.

Hope to get the opportunity to become part of Duck Pond’s regular roster of monthly markets and continue bringing my locally produced honey to the local communities.

Oh my, i super love Duck Pond Market. What a joy to find a market that is so full of love and joy. No mass produced nonsense that we see so often, just a gazillion things crafted by wonderful people who clearly love what they do. I have been to all of the markets in the last few years - Richmond, Ruislip, Marlow, Headstone and Chiswick - each just as lovely as the next. How wonderful it must be to be the person that gives an audience to all these wonderful traders - buy local - whenever you can!

Duck Pond Market at Headstone Manor is a lovely venue, plenty of space for customers to wander (& under floor heating in the Barn for the winter months).
Xmas trading was excellent with good footfall and customers appreciated my handmade items. Duck Pond's ethical policies make for a great variety of stalls. Caron & Alicia were exceptionally helpful as always, ensuring smoothly run event.

Lovely organisers and lovely stallholders! Its always a good vibe and consistent for footfall.

Duck Pond Market in Ruislip is truly one of the most wonderful markets I’ve ever traded at. As a maker of scented statue candles and hand-painted vases, I always feel incredibly welcomed and supported here. The management team are exceptionally professional, organised, and genuinely kind, they create an environment where traders can thrive and customers feel at home.

The atmosphere in the market is amazing: vibrant, friendly, and full of genuine community spirit. It’s the kind of place where people come not only to shop, but to enjoy the experience, meet talented creators, and discover beautifully handcrafted pieces.

I absolutely love being part of Duck Pond Market Ruislip and can’t recommend it highly enough, both for traders and visitors alike. It’s a real gem.

Lovely venue. Great organisation and fantastic buyers and sellers.

The whole team at Duck Pond Market are friendly, efficient and welcoming. They put a lot of effort into publicising their events with posters in the local areas as well as a good presence on social media. The mix of stalls is well balanced and I always enjoy the company of my fellow stallholders.

Heart goes into Duckpond Markets, and it's evident throughout. The team are extremely friendly and are genuinely there to help and provide a positive experience. There is such an array of artisan stalls, good coffee and live music. Pop along for a bite to eat and do some sustainable shopping, it's a great wee day out.

We were at the Richmond Market last week. It was a cosy and warm, friendly environment with polite and posh people around. The fellow traders had interesting handcrafted artisan products. Set-up and breakdown were easy and well organised. We had an enjoyable and productive day.

I’ve done a few markets at the Richmond location and it’s always been a pleasant experience.
The managers are really helpful & the other stall holders are warm and friendly.

First time on the market this weekend, really well organised and friendly. The market is well supported by the local community, I’m hoping to make this a regular event for Red Step Roasters.

Duck Pond Market was the very first market I joined in the UK, and it has always felt like a friendly, warm community — like a big family.
The vibes are sooo warm and friendly here, I met so many lovely traders, artists, and customers over these two years, and each market day just makes me feel so supported and so loved 🧡🐈✨

Thank you for bringing together such wonderful traders, makers, and people. I’m truly grateful to be a part of it 🧡

Feeling grateful, always 🫶🏻✨
