Old Spitalfields Market is hosting a vibrant line-up of events, summer menus, and exclusive retail launches over the upcoming bank holiday weekend and half-term. A central highlight is a guided walking tour led by life-long Shoreditch resident Suresh Singh, also known as the Cockney Sikh, which explores the hidden history of the local area.
The two-hour tour takes place on 24 and 25 May, with limited tickets available for £5 or exchangeable for a refreshment from Chai Guys. Families can take advantage of complimentary children's craft workshops running throughout the half-term week. Visitors are also encouraged to play the market's communal piano or capture memories in an analogue photo booth.
On the culinary front, acclaimed plant-based restaurant Holy Carrot is showcasing its menu alongside new seasonal drinks from traders like Noxy and Grind. Sports and gaming enthusiasts can gather at the Kerb Social Club, which offers lane bookings and big-screen broadcasts.
Finally, shoppers can browse exclusive fashion arrivals, including Cutler and Gross's latest eyewear and American Vintage's early-release summer collection.
