Sunday 29th September: All the brands taking part in our Gipsy Hill Brewery Taproom market
We love hosting markets at a varied array of venues and that’s why we’re so excited to be back on home turf at Gipsy Hill Brewery Taproom this summer! Nestled in the heart of our local community in South East London, the Taproom is a really cool space that combines an outdoor yard with a brewery, bar and an indoor event space which is where we’ll be hosting our market! It’s not our most glamorous venue but is special in the hearts of locals for so many reasons and we’re sooo proud to be popping up there again.
As well as our indoor market which will feature 30 different small brands from around the UK each day, you'll be able to order pints, eat delicious street food and find a table to sit down with friends and family to enjoy the day, all in one place. The venue has everything you’ll want all in one place; bevvies from Gipsy Hill Brewery, street food from KERB and of course our market! The perfect way to spend your weekend with friends and pups. Here are the amazing brands that will be trading with us on Sunday 29th September, and as always we’ll have a completely different line-up of traders for Saturday 28th September which you can find here.
This will be our final event at the Taproom this year, so if it’s up your street we’d love to see you at this one!

Lovely Daintily Jewellery founder Demi will be making personalised name necklaces on the spot at our next event! Each one is carefully made from wire which Demi cleverly manipulates to create each letter in a pretty twisted style. I fell in love with Demi’s cute and delicate jewellery because I think she so cleverly depicts beautiful things. From detailed roses, faces, animals, fruits and more (the cherries are an absolute fave) and with prices from just £8, they’re perfect if you’re on a budget.
Fashion
NEW! Sostena Knitwear: Coming all the way from Cornwall to trade with us for the first time ever! Sostena is a small, sustainable knitwear brand run by Izzi and her nana, who taught her how to knit during lockdown. Together they handknit bright, colourful, wearable pieces using scrap yarns and the occasional ball of Nana's hand-spun, hand-dyed wool from the sheep that live next door. How truly special! You won’t find anything this magical on the highstreet. When taken care of properly, a wool jumper like these will truly last you a lifetime; we can’t wait to try on some of their pieces on market day!

Emily Davies: A much-loved market favourite, ultimate cool girl and fashion designer Em is coming back to trade with us and bringing with her her brand new collection of iconic Puffy bags with matching Tiny Puffy bags and pouches designed to be attached with a carabiner as a bag charm!

Prices start from just £12 for a pouch and £5 for a carabiner.

Jewellery
NEW! Sacrosanct: Born from a love of the hunt, jewellery buyer Yasmin launched Sacrosant to make vintage jewellery more accessible. Today she sells a highly curated edit of vintage and preloved pieces alongside a small number of special handmade jewels too and we love this mix of old and new which makes her collection feel super special, like stumbling on a box of treasure. In a world where everything's so throwaway, recycling and reusing beautiful timeless pieces has (in our eyes anyway!) become the new luxury as they are truly one-of-a-kind!
Saltwater Design: Joining us all the way from France, Irish maker Megan takes inspiration from the landscape, colours and light of the Wild Atlantic coast of Ireland to create each gorgeous and textural piece of jewellery. Using a combination of vintage beads and freshwater pearls, they channel serious mermaid energy. Thoughtfully handmade, the nature of the designs means lots of them are one-of-a-kind. I just think everything Megan makes is SO beautiful.
Luneta Creations: Sustainable jewellery, handmade in London by designer Marianna with rare vintage beads she carefully sources. We love that because these beads are unique, each piece of jewellery is one of a kind too. These are so fun, colourful and full of life!

Art, Prints & Paper Goods
NEW! Sanpo: Sanpo's concept is to offer colourful gifts that bring happiness! Painting is artist Shino’s true passion, and I really think you can see her passion and enthusiasm shine through each of her artworks. Inspired by nature, she creates vivid paintings of verdant plants, colourful flowers, and botanical gardens bursting with life, movement and gorgeous curvy shapes. Like a deep breath of fresh air for your walls, I think these are the type of pieces you’ll want to adorn your walls with and look at day after day.

I purchased one for my dad’s 60th and my goddaughters 1st birthday as lovely mementos of a special time that I hope they’ll keep which elevates them from a simple greetings card to something far more special. The perfect gift!

NEW! Present Your Joy: Alisha is the gorgeous woman behind Present Your Joy; your new favourite home fragrance brand! She makes divine soy wax vegan-friendly candles, diffusers and gift boxes with the utmost love and care. Personally I am a huge fan of a diffuser because I love how they throw scent around your home so you get that lovely welcome whenever you walk through the door, and I can’t wait to smell so many of Alisha’s scents: the velvet peony and oud sounds right up my street for my bedroom, and I think the black plum and rhubarb would be just right for my kitchen! The shiny gold labels also feel super festive if you’re starting your Christmas shopping early.
NEW! Olu.T Designs: Designer and maker Tosin creates contemporary homeware in Bristol! She produces small batch items using a variety of techniques including handbuilding and slipcasting to produce ceramics crafted for multifunctional use, adorning each one with her signature splatter design!
