NEXT MARKET IS ON SUNDAY 2nd March 2025 from 10am to 2pm
We were back on 2nd February 2025 after a short break with almost 50 stalls and great live music from local acts.
You will have found many of your favourite regulars, selling award-winning food and hand-made crafts & gifts. There was great street food (from Columbian, curry and crepes through to Italian treats, sizzling bacon and sausage rolls and tasty falafel wraps). Visitors also tried locally cured charcuterie, cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts and much more.
Making a return for February were Berkshire Trout, Sleep Toniq & Dress Up Baby relatively new to our market and it was great to see them again.
Our live music for February saw a mandolin theme. First up at 10.30am were Mandolin Jack who were followed by Jasper The Mandolin Minstrel at 12.30pm.
Both made a welcome return to our market.
All in all, it was a fabulous way to add cheer to your Sunday and maybe you even found some gifts for Valentine's Day!
The stall for March's market will be updated two before the event. In the meantime the stalls for February can be found here: https://kewvillagemarket.org/stalls.
On the first Sunday of the month (except Jan) from 10 am and 2pm
What makes Kew Village Market so special? Is it the lovely leafy setting? The particular mix of stalls selling quality food and beautiful crafts? The great live music from local bands? All these and more add up to a monthly community event which residents, visitors and stallholders alike say is absolutely their favourite market – the very best.
With the village streets closed to traffic, on the first Sunday of every month (except January), over 40 independent traders set up their stalls, many of them award-winning and all of them loving what they sell, whether it’s curries or charcuterie, hand-knits or herbal infusions, perfect pies or pottery... And with great street food on hand the market has become quite the place to hang out for lunch, listening to the bands in the sunshine-yellow music marquee and meeting friends and neighbours.
Two-thirds of our stallholders sell food and most are with us every month while the craft stalls tend to be more occasional. To help you plan your shopping, a week before each market here you can find a list of the month’s stalls. And if you’re interested in taking a stall pitch yourself all the details are here.
Kew Village Market – The Movie! We have a brand new video (below) which shows our market in action, from set up, to meeting some of our committee members, right through to hearing why our visitors love our monthly market so much.

We hope you enjoy visiting Kew Village Market as much as we enjoy organising it.
