“Had a really enjoyable time being a stallholder. Geraldine and her team are very approachable, organised, and experienced, which meant I had a highly successful day. Thoroughly recommended” Wendy Norton

“I booked a suitcase size pitch at the first Windmill Hill market and it’s surprising how much you can fit into the space if you’re creative. It was such a lovely day, chatting to loads of friendly people and the atmosphere was buzzing so I’d definitely take part again!” La Folle Accessories
