    A decent market with events food stalls every 1st and artisan stalls every 3rd Sunday of the month. There's a fair bit for kids to do and the food is often healthy (and vegan/veggie if you're so inclined). A little over-priced but these kind of things usually are. They have now installed a baby change in the ladies' toilet which is great but in the interests of sharing this pleasure maybe they should put one in the men's toilet too πŸ˜† Looking forward to this πŸ˜‰

    Lovely market if you're looking for something to do the Sundays it's on. Quite expensive but all the vendors are independent and local to the general area. Favourite stop has to be the biltong guy, he's so friendly and let's you sample. His recipes are excellent! Also Olivier' s bakery has some great bread, you can't beat their cheese twists! I'd say avoid the deli places as there's a few and nothing special about any of them. I think they are unreasonably expensive. Parking is free on Sundays but limited so you might have to do a few laps. There's hot food sellers as well, recommend the Souvlaki!

    Such a lovely market! So many different stalls selling all sorts of handmade goodies! The street food selection is fabulous, it’s too hard to decide what to eat!

    Lots on offer at the Duck Pond Ruislip Farmers market on the 1st of every month. Inside the barn they have a table full of Lego for the children to play. Can get quite busy Lots of homemade jams, patisseries, jewellery, cheeses and so much more. Great for foodies looking to discover new tastes from vendors Wish there was more seating available so when you do grab some food you can sit someone to eat.

    We had such a lovely afternoon out! Food options were amazing! All the vendors were absolutely lovely, and the flavour and quality exceptional! All the stall holders we spoke to were also very friendly, lots of samples and taste testers are given out to entice the senses. A wonderful day out!

    A really cute market with some nice stalls. The venue was lovely, and the selection of food was great. There was also a large lego table which was fantastic for the kids to sit at and let their imaginations go wild, really available toilets and everything was cashless (which for me is a bonus) - all in all we loved it

    What an amazing market! Loved the Froyo. It's literally the best frozen yoghurt I've ever had! What a find. Eating frozen yoghurt in the sun, with love music and the Happy buzz of a lovely community market.

    Great place to wander around on a Sunday morning, all kinds of produce here - food stalls candles, greetings cards and dog friendly. There’s a big Lego table for kids

    I live locally but never think to go. I did so recently for a bit of human contact. Retirement can be a little quiet sometimes. Food vans amazing, impossible to choose (went for Korean, yum). The stalls were lovely and I came away with honey and some silver jewellery. The slightly isolated coffee van (black Land Rover) at the front is well worth a visit. The iced Americano was delicious! Didn't meet anyone to chat to so if you see a 6 foot reasonably slim man in his sixties with cropped hair do say hello 😊

    Great market esp for dog treats and general health. We found some passionate owners making quality dog treats. We loved the liver brownie for my dogs great quality, price and packaging. Inside there more from arts and crafts etc I will be returning. Parking super easy and a nice little walk around. Good food selection and desserts just would have liked more stalls but tbh there were a fair few on this rainy day. We found parking free on Sunday outside the parking place but perhaps we were lucky.

    Love this place.

    Amazing market with a delicious range of fresh food. There's always something new to try when you go. Lots of activities for children: a bouncy castle, a reading table, sometimes a petting zoo and more. The only shame is that its a fortnightly event. Check the website for dates.

    Every other Sunday. Handcrafts or foodie market. Nice live music and atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Marion W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very interesting market with lots of stalls. Stall holders very communicative & well informed about their products. The food stalls were good & the food smelled lovely unfortunately not enough seating to sit down & eat so didn't eat!!! Car Park was free which was a bonus but limited toilet facilities especially for women, not helped by one of the toilets being out of action.

    Amazing selection of food stalls and other little tents with all sorts of cool things! Had a great time and definitely will be back at some point.

    Nice to have a Christmas market local and very close to Ruislip lido.

  • 5/5 Zach D. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to the Duck Pond Market for the first time since early 2020 and it was great to be back. Loads of good food was available on Sunday. Wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Ruislip

  • 4/5 Chris W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great produce on sale, always well supported by locals and visitors. Social distancing well organised and adhered to. Great food and drink stalls in historical surroundings

    Great market with plenty of amazing artisans and food stalls

  • 5/5 Dee M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great local market, foodies on the first Sunday and artisan on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Summer food stalls are always great for a lunch treat.

  • 4/5 Pam V. 2 years ago on Google
    Always great! Love it. ❀ pop along and see for yourself.

  • 5/5 Jason C. 4 months ago on Google
    Lovely local market in Ruislip, occurring every other week. Free to enter. Wander around the variety of eclectic stalls, with local craftspeople selling their wares. Big table full of lego for the kids. Wreath making as we lead up to Christmas. Plenty of food and drink stalls dotted around too.

  • 4/5 John O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great hive of activity with many craft fairs. Bought some amazing cup cakes from "The Little Bear Baker" ...amazing flavours and he will take orders too. Also a great pie stall, haven't tried them yet but they look fab and cook straight from the freezer too.

    Tried Japes’ kitchen for the first time, and i loved it! Delicious food and friendly customer service! I will be back

  • 5/5 Kasey B. 2 years ago on Google
    The Halloween dog show was amazing and lifted my spirits - pun not intended. The stalls were so nice to look around and the food was amazing. Can't wait to return, especially if there are dogs dressed up again 🀩

    Just got a lovely Christmas tree after visiting a few other places.

  • 4/5 M G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely market in a nice environment with a pond and historical buildings. You can buy scented candles, cheese and cured meat, embroidery, hot food stalls, dog's treats, semi-precious stones, handicrafts, etc. There is a car park attached to it which is free of charge on Sundays and the market is also near the High St.

    Lovely market full of local goods. Had a chicken wrap from the Greek pop up restaurant! 5/5 Also bought some local jams! Will return

  • 5/5 Robert N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little market. Especially for foodies. Some of the stalls are a tad overpriced. You'll sell more if your prices were lower. Still worth going though.

  • 4/5 Warren S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a pleasant place to go for a quick market visit. Interesting stalls with good food and other stuff. Lots of Dog stall (no Cats, boo!). Ruislip Manor, the park and buildings make it an interesting trip too

  • 4/5 Laura C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice variety of stalls in a lovely setting. There were craft stalls and food stalls. Lots of dog treat stalls too. There are benches around for when you want to sit and eat your food. Wish there was some Asian food there though, but that might come in time!

  • 5/5 Manos Felice A. 2 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed this Artisan market, after wanting to go for a long time I certainly wasn't disappointed by the standard, variety and quality of exhibitors. The location feels like you've entered a little haven somewhere in the countryside and really felt like I'd discovered a best kept secret! There's a great selection of food stalls plus a delightful coffee stand and I can't wait to return next month to try out some more. Altogether a delightful experience and one I hope will become a regular occurrence.

  • 5/5 Divesh β€œDeev” M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local market. Im a regular there for certain items which are just not the same anywhere else: The Olive man: has a long beard, been there for years! Awesome produce, Great guy! Fatman chilli: Sauce company,really great chilli sauce. Both hot and mild sauces. Beehouse Honey company: Havent seen him for a while. But very knowledge about good local honey and Bee pollen! Helped reduce my hayfever allergy. Sour Dough Bread company: Forgot the name and there are sometimes 2 companies. The best one in my opinion is the one that gives and dark purple paper bag when buying. They usually sell out by 12pm! There is an Italian guy who sells cheese. Quite expensive but worth it especially with the bread and olives!@
