The spring market season kicked off
It’s that most promising time of year, when blossom perfumes the air, birds chirp, and market season swings into action in the UK capital. This weekend, two colourful events are offering the chance for visitors to slow down, shop locally, and rediscover the joy of being out in the city.
At Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, a new curated market is taking a stand against mass-produced, fast-shipped products and focusing on sustainability, ethical practices and handmade goods. The Ethical Edit, an ethical traders market, will bring together a line-up of independent makers and small brands working across ceramics, textiles, prints, clothing, natural skincare and more.
Meanwhile, across the city at King’s Cross, the Classic Car Boot Sale returns this weekend, transforming Granary Square, Lewis Cubitt Square and Coal Drops Yard into a high-energy celebration of vintage style, music and sustainable fashion.
Here, over 100 vintage traders will sit alongside more than 100 classic and heritage vehicles, creating a vibrant space where ethical fashion meets automotive heritage.
“This year’s event has a real sense of momentum,” said Wayne Hemingway MBE, founder of Hemingway Design and co-founder of The Classic Car Boot Sale, which first launched in 2013. “It’s about great design, individuality and making sustainable choices feel exciting and accessible.”
