The Backyard Market is my new favourite market. Most of the designers run their own stalls so it feels very genuine – artists who are just doing what they love to do and hoping other people will like it. And you will – good food, good music and some good deals!



For The Love of Law look for necklaces and little heart shaped purses – great little Christmas presents.

These handmade fascinators are made by two sisters J & K. and start at only £8.00!


If you’re looking to have something customized check out KM-Toilet. They’ll customize t-shirts, running shoes, anything you like. You can chose a pattern or KM can create one for you.


Unkle Baxta does some great girly prints on t-shirts & vests and they make some really cool handmade cards.

This is Silvio, he designs men’s and womenswear for his label Twins Diverses. His menswear is quite cool and his trousers have been one of his best sellers and for women, if you’re looking for a cute pair of high waisted shorts check out his stall.

I like hats. When I’m wearing a hat I feel very self-conscious but at the same time quite special. Hats have always been an indicator of social status – perhaps this is why we feel special when we’re wearing a hat, or it might just be the whimsical nature of hats with so many delightful trimmings!
