At the heart of the Festival is our Marketplace, an al fresco extravaganza of the very best street food and gorgeous wares surrounded by live music and FREE family activities, all day, all weekend.
Our Marketplace is located beside beautiful Barnes Pond, alongside our Judith Kerr Marquee which hosts our big events, our FREE Programme Tent with 30+ super fun activities plus Waterstones pop-up bookshop and our Box Office.
