The Dalston Christmas Market takes place this Sunday 1st December in Dalston Square and the surrounding streets. This is a new one-day event from City Showcase Markets, organisers of the annual Soho Flea Market (“the most glamorous flea market in the UK” says Cosmo) which attracted over 15,000 people in 2013 (championed by Harpers, Elle, Time Out, Metro, Stylist and many more).

A breath of fresh air, Dalston Christmas Market offers a vibrant, innovative alternative to more traditional ‘German style’ Christmas markets and will feature artisans, artists, fashion and jewellery designers, furniture makers, ceramicists, and card makers, as well as food and drink stalls.
