Christmas at Portobello is back for special Sunday markets 4, 11 and 18 December. Whether you are looking to shop, eat or simply enjoy the atmosphere, why not take a stroll along our festive winter market to celebrate this holiday season.
A new sustainability market takes place on Friday 9 December on Tavistock Square. Make sure your Christmas doesn’t cost the earth with free bike repair stations and lots of tips on how to re-use, repair and recycle this festive season.
Come and see the next generation of talented market traders at the New Youthquake market, giving young people, aged 18 to 30, the chance to trade on the world-famous Portobello Market. Stop by on Sunday 11 December from 9am to 5pm to show your support and pick up a delicious treat or two.
