Mum2mum Market Teddington, Twickenham and the Hamptons is back for 2017. Mum2mum Market is still going strong a year after winning a Dragon on BBC's Dragon's Den.

Our first sale for this year is in Teddington on Saturday 4th February at Teddington Baptist Church, Church Road, TW11 8PF or in Hampton on Saturday 25th March at Hampton Methodist Church, Percy Road, TW12 2JT , 14.00 – 16.00.

If you don’t know Mum2mum Market, we are a nearly new baby and children’s market. All items on sale are from local parents and are pre-loved and in fantastic condition. Don’t throw away your used items, instead sell them on to other parents and parents-to-be.

You don’t only help other families but you also do your bit for the environment. Our landfills are getting bigger and bigger, often with items which are in perfectly good condition and could be used again. Our award winning pop-up market will have 24 stalls laden with quality second hand baby and children’s goods, all quality brands in excellent condition.

The October sale drew over 200 buyers, 100 in the first 15 minutes with some queuing beforehand to get the best bargains. There are serious savings to be made by buying second hand.

With large items like designer prams selling for around a third of the new price and baby and children's clothes from just 50p parents can save thousands of pounds. All the stalls are held by local mums who recycle their own children's outgrown clothes, toys books and equipment to other mums and they keep 100% of the profits.

Novice sellers are coached prior to the event with sellers’ tips and pricing guides to maximise their sales on the day. Mum2mum Market was started by Wimbledon mum of two Cath Harrop in 2011 and scooped the Best New Business Award at the Merton Business Awards in 2012.

Cath says "Mum2mum Market is so popular because we make it really easy for parents to recycle their outgrown children’s goods. In today’s economic climate and with the rising costs of parenting family budgets need to stretch that little bit further. With Mum2mum Market everyone’s a winner. Buyers can source great quality second hand goods at a fraction of the high street price and sellers keep 100% of their profits. Our top seller mum made £300 selling at a Mum2mum Market in Teddington last year."

Cath now has a network of local mums running Mum2mum Markets nationwide including franchises in the neighbouring boroughs of Richmond and Sutton. Petra, a local mum from Twickenham, took over the Teddington, Twickenham and Hampton franchise in 2016 and it has seen it grow to become bigger and stronger.

Mum2mum Market, the best place to shop for pre loved children and baby items. Mum2Mum Market in Teddington, 4th Feb, admission is £2 on the door (children free) and there is free admission after 3.30pm when prices hit rock bottom.
