Duck Pond Market Recensioni 

They are organised well, they look beautiful, and the teams looking after stallholders are friendly and helpful. We had a great experience as traders at the market, and we will look into coming back again.

Duck Pond Markets always have a fantastic atmosphere – vibrant, busy and full of energy! The team are jolly, welcoming and incredibly professional. A really positive experience and a pleasure to be part of!

Love this market. I had my first experience as a stall holder this weekend and felt like I was surrounded by a loving family! Everyone is so friendly and supportive. Community . And such beautiful products for sale everywhere!

As a stall holder, it's such a lovely friendly atmosphere and there is always someone around to help you with any questions. Parking is good for Sundays which is useful too!

I had an amazing day at Duck Pond Market,on my trial day,as a stall holder! Caron, Lucy and the team were fantastic, made me feel so welcome and at ease! The day was amazing, beautiful location, lovely fellow stall holders and customers and just a wonderful experience! I'm so excited to book my next market so I'm busy crafting away!

What a team Duck Pond Markets are!!! Felt so welcomed today by Caron, Lucy and the team for my first day trading with them ☺️.
A fabulous setting in the barn and a huge variety of stalls. Looking forward to returning for another day of trading. Thanks so much Duck Pond.

Caron and her team put on a lovely market.
I trades with them at Gunnersbury Museum last weekend, and it was really friendly and professionally.

I'm looking forward to trading at more Duck Pond markets!

Absolutely love the Duck Pond markets. They are organised well, they look beautiful, the teams looking after stallholders are friendly and helpful. Makes such a difference to any producer...

We had a great first day with Duck Pond Richmond. Lovely people all around and a very well organised market. It was easy to set up, trade and then break down with no fuss and clear instructions. Fantastic use of space and all kind to the environment 🙏

I absolutely love being a stallholder at Duck Pond Market! 🥰✨

It’s such a lovely, fun and welcoming market, with a really special atmosphere. There’s something for everyone, from beautiful handmade products and natural, sustainable goods to unique little treasures you won’t find on the high street.

As a candle maker, I love being surrounded by so many talented small businesses and makers who put so much love into what they create. 🕯️🤍 It’s the perfect place to shop consciously, support independent businesses and discover something a little different.

Whether you’re coming to browse, shop, eat, chat or simply soak up the atmosphere, the Duck Pond Market is such a lovely day out. I’m always so excited to be there with my Bella Mae candles and see familiar faces as well as new ones.

If you haven’t been yet, definitely come along — you won’t be disappointed! 🌿✨

We love being at the Duck Pond Markets in Harrow, Ruislip and Richmond. They are a very successful organisation and we benefit from their success.

Lovely team, great location, and a really good mix of stalls and stallholders. It was our first time, selling items made in Uganda by beneficiaries of a charity we support, and we didnt sell quite as much as we hoped but will return as we feel the Christmas season is going to work better for the type of things we are selling.

Great markets !

As an independent brand we were delighted to be accepted at Duck Pond and couldn't be happier with the wonderful community they have created.
Hope the UK has more of these efforts as that is exactly what we all need!

I visited the market expecting a genuinely local artisan market that prioritised local makers and producers, but I left feeling somewhat disappointed.

There were certainly some talented local craftspeople present, and it's important to recognise the effort and skill that many stallholders bring. However, what surprised me was how little of the market actually felt local.

For a market that promotes the idea of supporting local businesses and keeping money within the local community, there seemed to be a significant number of products sourced from much further afield. We saw continental cheeses and cured meats, products made from imported materials, and even items such as Pies from a business in Melton Mowbray travelling well over 100 miles to be sold here. Whilst these may be excellent products, they don't really align with the image of a local market supporting local producers.

There was also a large amount of overlap between some stalls, particularly jewellery, while the overall mix of traders felt more like a general craft and gift fair than a carefully curated local artisan market.

My criticism is aimed at the organisers rather than the stallholders. If the market wishes to include regional, national and imported products, that's entirely their choice. However, I believe greater transparency would help visitors understand what "local" actually means in practice.

At the moment, the branding suggests a market centred on local businesses and local production, but the reality appears considerably broader than that. I would encourage the organisers to either tighten the focus on genuinely local traders and local busineses or be clearer about the criteria used so customers know exactly what to expect.

That would make the market stronger, a lot fairer and more authentic for both visitors and traders alike.

I honestly created an account here just to leave a positive review. I absolutely love the market and the quality and variety of vendors is excellent!

Santos was really helpful and so were the other traders. Although a small market it is very well organised and looks delightful. Bunting gives it a festive look, but some of the individual flags need replacing Weather was not good and we presume that was the reason for the lack of footfall. The weather forecast was far worse than what we actually experienced. Stalls were beautifully set up by the traders and good quality products. Looking forward to your Christmas markets

It’s such a great friendly atmosphere between stall holders and Joel the duck pond market manager. A superb location and in my home town. I’ve done 3-4 markets here now and it just keeps getter better. Give it a try, you’ll love it,

We had such a lovely first experience at Duck Pond Market in Richmond!

The whole day had a really nice atmosphere, and everyone we met was so friendly. It was especially nice to chat with the other stallholders and share our first market experience together.

Mike was lovely and gave us some really helpful feedback on our stall and products. The team were also friendly and helpful throughout the day, and everything was well organised.

We really enjoyed being part of the market and would definitely love to come back again!

Thank you Duck Pond Market! ♡

Great experience with the market this summer lovely people and atmosphere
