Spooky Markets and Autumn Abundance

We are looking forward to the 1st of November when we celebrate 25 years of Twickenham Farmers Market.

Get ready for spooktacular celebrations at our Wimbledon and High Street Kensington Farmers’ Markets on the 25th and 26th of October! Come along in your spookiest fancy dress and take part in our Halloween competitions. Bring your carved pumpkin lanterns for the Best Pumpkin Competition, and have a go at our Guess the Weight of the Giant Pumpkin challenge — entry is free! Little ghosts and goblins can join the fun with our Ghostbusters hunt, finding hidden ghosts around the stalls to win prizes. There’s also the chance to win a Halloween-themed market hamper and other ghoulish goodies — so dress up and join us for a frightfully fun day at the markets to kick off the Halloween festivities!

High Street Kensington is set for a week of Halloween fun from 24th–31st October 2025. Families can join the Halloween Trail, following a themed map around the area to uncover clues and win treats. On 31st October, Holland Park will host Kensington’s Peculiar Hallows’ Eve, a lively evening filled with dancing skeletons, glow-in-the-dark surprises, and a colourful Day of the Dead–inspired parade. The Halloween Vintage Market on 25th October at Phillimore Walk will feature gothic fashion, vintage treasures, and seasonal food stalls. Throughout the week, local shops will run creative workshops and in-store events, and everyone is invited to take part in the Halloween Costume Contest by sharing their outfits on Instagram with #KensingtonHalloween for a chance to win prizes from local retailers. You can find everything on Kensington’s Halloween on the following link. https://highstreetkensington.co.uk/halloween-2025/

It will be the day after Halloween when we celebrate Twickenham Farmers Market's 25th birthday and as well as chocolate brioche buns and a big birthday cake to cut up and give away we will continue with all the spooky fun we had at Wimbledon and High Street Kensington. So keep those costumes out for an extra 24 hours and come to market in your spookiest fancy dress for some free cake and the chance to enter our Halloween competitions.

Celebrating Autumn’s Best

We’re marking Apple Day on the 21st of October — a full-on love letter to one of Britain’s most iconic fruits. Apples have a long and fascinating history in the UK, dating back to the Romans, who first introduced cultivated varieties to our isles. By medieval times, apples were a staple in monasteries and cottage orchards alike, valued for their versatility — eaten fresh, baked into pies, pressed into cider, or stored through winter. The Victorians took apple-growing to new heights, developing hundreds of distinct British varieties. Today, Apple Day celebrates that rich heritage and our continued love affair with the fruit. Expect crunchy tastings, sweet cider, and more apple bakes than you can shake a pie tin at. From sharp Bramleys to juicy Cox’s, it’s the perfect excuse to grab a bag and celebrate the best of the British orchard. You'll find these from the below Producers!
