Come to the market to check out their selection for yourself and pick matching ones for you and your BFF.
Hattie Buzzard: Hattie’s jewellery is all about creating joyful, unexpected and one-of-a-kind special pieces. Because each item is handmade using colourful vintage and repurposed beads they deliver on that cool Scandi vibe I’m obsessed with right now; the colours and the richness of the beads are just so good and I love the way the light refracts through them. Her new necklaces have been so popular in fact, they've sold out in under 24 hours at each launch. She'll have a brand new collection of one of a kind pieces for our market, made using some of the beautiful beads sourced from her Mum’s own collection.

A visit to her stall is a deep dive in to a magical treasure chest of solid silver and gold goodies.

NEW! Frankie Ceramics: Please welcome the lovely Frankie to the market, who is a ceramic artist based in East Anglia meaning this is an excellent opportunity to shop her pieces IRL in London! She enjoys working in a spontaneous fashion inspired by the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape and so it's no surprise that I think her most beautiful pieces are the mossy green ones that are deeply chic. With years of experience at the wheel, these pieces are utterly perfect and we're so proud to have them at the market.
Made by Valkyrie: The cutest ceramics you’ll ever see are made by Valkyrie and you’ll be able to buy them at our next market! I am in heavennnnnnn and just thrilled about this!

Audrey Lisik: Audrey's small art and illustration business celebrates human connection by offering the prettiest giclée print artworks and original paintings that are inspired by nature, people and joy. All of her artworks are created to inspire the viewer to feel some kind of connection and joy; they evoke a sense of gentleness and sentimental feelings I think you'd be pleased to invoke in your own home looking at these on your wall. Even in winter, these flowers will bloom! Plus they're available in a range of sizes.
Goose Glitters: There are so many women we admire in our incredible small business community, and Laura, the incredible maker behind Goose Glitters is top of the list. For those of you who aren’t already obsessed too! Laura transforms vintage papers into delightful new collages which she uses to create a whole array of different paper products. She spends hours scouring car boot sales and vintage shops for old catalogues, cards, books and magazines, flicking through the pages to find the most interesting and fun images, cutting each one out by hand and then rearranging all the different elements into a new collage. It’s so clever and takes real time! But the results are absolutely worth it.
Piece of the Peach: The most beautiful artwork and greetings cards; I always stock up on gards from Violet because her designs are just so lovely! Inspired by nature and geology with influences from folklore and tarot, they have a magical mystical quality that's so unique and IMHO, different to anything else on the market. Excitingly she's been working on a number of brand new designs which will be with us for the day (and also means she'll be selling off her discontinued designs at a reduced price)
Homeware
NEW! Lalela Wellbeing: Lalela Wellbeing is a brand new Caribbean inspired scented candle business founded by sisters Lela and Chaneti in South East London! Dedicated to bringing the vibrant and soothing scents of the Caribbean into your home, these gorgeous sissies specialise in hand poured candles, wax melts and diffusers; each scent formulated has been created to encapsulate memories from their Jamaican heritage. We love that they also use vessels that are reusable so you can extend their life finding new ways to style them around your home.
Slow Hands: Looking for something to do that isn’t endless doom scrolling? Try one of Robyn’s cute and clever lil craft kits which were a huge seller at one of our previous markets. Her kits include everything you need to make your own darling little embroidery at home, as well as a guide to doing the actual cross-stitching so you can give one a whirl with zero experience. Designed to help you take a moment for yourself (and utterly cute, the lil mushroom is my fave) She'll also have her first ever non-sewing kits launching at the market which we're really excited to see!
Twizzell: Featured by House & Garden, Tatler and Vanity Fair, Twizzell source unique and colourful lifestyle products from around the world, a one stop shop for all your winter tablescapes this feasting season. Think brand new Indian block print tablecloths and napkins in beautiful patterns and hues, placemats, teatowels and more alongside other cute accessories like makeup bags and totes. The colourful checkerboard berber wash bag is my favourite.
Dogs
Salvatore Paws: Because Battersea Power Station is so dog friendly, it would only be right for us to have products for your four legged friends too! This luxurious knitwear for dogs and cats is designed for their ultimate comfort and style and is absolutely adorable. These are the epitome of cool and the designs are just as gorgeous as you'd expect for human clothes! Because your furry besties deserve something a special something too.
Deli Items
Oat Avenue: As sold in Selfridges. The UK’s first granola butter is coming to the market and we couldn’t be more intrigued and excited. Realising that there was a huge gap in the market for nut-free spreads, partners Iva and Thiviyan decided to launch their own brand! Much like nut butter but without the nuts, it’s made with oats instead meaning it’s free from the top 14 allergens, school friendly and high in fibre. Eat it on porridge, on toast or straight out of the jar. Make sure you try all the different flavours including chocolate which is my personal fave.
Spicy Ryes: Rye’s infectious energy and the way he started his business is so inspiring, it’s people like him that continue to make us so excited about the small biz world. Growing fruit and veg down at the allotment, he decided to start turning them into his very own sauces and so began a passionate endeavour to make hot sauces that enhance every meal. He now has 14 varieties, all made using totally natural ingredients with no added nasties, ranging from mild to wild depending on the heat you prefer. I have five in my fridge right now and can confirm they are delish.
Bakery
NEW! Saffy Bakes: On home turf, we are so excited to welcome Saffy's Bakes to the market because they are actually based in Battersea itself! Baker Saffy bakes the most delicious homemade cakes and cupcakes. With intricate designs, these are like minature edible works of art! The perfect weekend treat to eat as you browse around the market.
Toskas Cakes: Occasion cakes and macarons have never looked so good! One of my absolute favourite things to do on a market day is to buy a slice of freshly baked cake to take home and enjoy with a cup of tea when I get home, and baker Flora will have plenty for us to choose from on market day that look as beautiful as they taste. Pick up a box of handmade macarons as the perfect little token or gift for any loved one, I tried them at our last market and highly recommend.
Farine Kitchen: Having spent months perfecting their recipes, South London sissies Elisia and Niamh have recently launched their blondie and brownie biz: Farine! With part-French heritage it’s little surprise that these freshly bakes treats are absolutely divineeee. The branded packets are so cute and fun these are the perfect little treats for friends, plus this sissy duo just happen to be super gorgeous, friendly and lovely too. Experience their delights at our next market.
