Flea & Street Markets
It's over 35 years since our very first Sunbury Antiques Market at Kempton Park took place in 1979 and thanks to the enduring dedication and enthusiasm of founder Sue Cruttenden we've gone from strength to strength, gradually evolving into the largest and longest running twice-monthly market in the country and we are immensely proud to now be recognised as one of Europe's premier antiques markets. Sunbury Antiques Market at Kempton Park attracts well over 700 inside and outside stallholders throughout our three indoor halls and outside hard standing drive in area. There is always a vast range of antique goods on offer including furniture, gold and silverware, jewellery, ceramics, kitchenallia, vintage and vintage fashion, garden ephemera, clocks, paintings, cameras books and much, much more. Not only do we attract those interested in the Antiques trade but we also appeal to general collectors, prop buyers, interior and exterior designers. Many continental stallholders arrive here loaded with their own Regional speciality offerings such as French farmhouse furniture, Belgian chandeliers and industrial pieces and with an abundance of good European rustic furniture Sunbury Antiques has persuaded some British dealers to give up the cross-Channel run altogether! Sunbury Antiques appeals to traders and buyers not just the UK and Europe but from much further afield, as our market also attracts a large number of overseas visitors from America and the Far East. Throughout our history we have always generated great national and international media interest and this ongoing coverage not only adds to our burgeoning reputation but also helps to underline Sunbury Antiques' status, as many already believe us to be, the UK's finest Antiques Market. Always looking to give our traders and buyers a competitive edge, we are delighted to offer our unique feature of FREE ADMISSION and FREE CAR PARKING at every market we present.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Not open often, but worth the wait as it’s a really impressive machine, especially when it’s in steam. Stands 4 storeys high and capable of pumping 19 million gallons a day.

    Good guide book and tours available on steam days. Small cafe serving snacks.

    The adjacent 2 foot gauge steam railway is also worth a visit. Currently goes around a circular track but they have plans to eventually extend it along the old trackbed down to the Thames and/or Kemptom Park station.

    We had a great day out at the races. It is so easy to get to if your staying in London as the train stops outside the course.

    It was a great days racing and a great day out for families, couples or groups of friends

    It was my first time at this market and I had such a lovely time gazing at all of the jewellery, there are loads of other items for sale, furniture, clothes, ornaments, pictures, etc. It is a mostly cash market so I was a bit short when I wanted to buy but the market staff were so helpful, I managed to get cash back at the office and am super happy with my ring and earrings that I found in the indoor section. It’s a big market. A special thanks to Ed and wife Jenny who run the market, so smiley and responsive. I shall be back, especially as it was an easy train trip from Waterloo, 2mins walk from Kempton Park station.

    I have been here before re classical concerts, but this was with a twist with 3 people as its usually with 2 cello & piano.
    It was classical concert with a cello, piano & violin. It was lovely.
    I came to support my dear friend who plays the cello.
    It was £12 which includes croissant, tea or coffee before had with jam, but I brought my own as strawberry jam is only on offer, sadly it doesn't like me..... A few other people came with theirs too.....
    It was very busy as its always is.
    There was a raffle too which I did win a prize this time as I am very unlucky at raffles.
    Its in the hall sent up with tables & chairs all around & on the stage too. Kitchen next door, changing rooms & toilets as well not used.
    There is a member bars, so most likely used in the eves.
    There is lots going on at this place & dancing classes going on with young kids at the same time as our concert.
    Parking is an issue a few spaces at the back only for the people who are connected with whats going on, but parking either on the street if you can find a space (I was parked on The Avenue & walked up only 5 mins) or pay & display near the shops or in The Walled Garden, again need to pay, but beware as you go in parking only for people who live their, go pass the pay & display machine, that's for all of us.
    I signed up for the newsletter which is run by Sunbury & Shepperton Arts Association.
    Thank you to you all, just lovely, till the next time.

    Adopted this pub as my local while working in London. Great little friendly place with sensibly price food and drinks. A great little haven away from the madness that is London. Very friendly staff and customers. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic entertainment, we discovered Laughing Chili during lockdown 1 and Stu has been amazing every week, he has kept us entertained using his own time and resources to deliver an amazing professional evening. We can't rate him enough and are looking forward to being able to visit the events in person

    Fab gym that I have attended for 8 months now. The PTs under Louise's lead are great and one of the key reasons for why I keep coming back. Have attended lots of classes and they are fun, motivating and effective.

    Fantastic place for 10+ year olds to have a driving lesson which we did for my son and his friends for his birthday. They all absolutely loved driving a proper car! One of the children forgot to hand the driver their memory card (which we had ordered for the in-car film) so Young Driver kindly offered to take him for another drive so that it could be filmed - such amazing customer service! Thank you! We will be back.
