Bank Holiday Weekend:
5 things to do in the Market
If you’re lucky enough to have a whole extra day on your hands this weekend, it’s essential you don’t let it go to waste.
Here are five worthy diversions to enjoy at the Market this weekend; consider it your Bank Holiday bucket list.
Unwind in Parisian style at Blixen. Not only will Blixen be hosting their covetable Bottomless Brunches available to book on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, they’re also transforming their outside space into a pretty Parisian paradise, inspired by St Germain. Perfect for a Bank Holiday rendez-vous.
Cultivate your spring/summer capsule wardrobe. Jigsaw are championing linen this season and with their womenswear collection now joining menswear in their Spitalfields store, it’s time for breezy summer staples all round. Independent boutique Mercantile’s latest stock refresh includes sandals so inspiring you’ll be freeing your feet whatever the weather. And no seasonal reboot would be complete without a good hat from our exquisite stall the Last Stop For the Curious. Made from 100% recycled paper their Panama hats combine style and sustainability, and can withstand being crushed into a suitcase, making them the ultimate holiday hack.
Celebrate the beauty of pizza. Buy a copy of ‘Pizzapedia: An Illustrated Guide to Everyone’s Favourite Food’ from InSpitalfields this weekend and between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday you’ll be able to get it signed by its illustrator/creator Dan Bransfield. If that’s not incentive enough, you’ll also get some free Margherita pizza from Sud Italia, who grace the book’s cover, with your purchase.
Get some flower power. While grown ups can chose from the seasonal blooms at Rebel Rebel, including beautiful British Sweet Peas and heavenly-scented Lily-of-the-Valley, children can create their own floral wonders at our Pom Pom Factory paper flower workshops, taking place on Saturday May 5th.
Embark on a DIY food tour. Whether you’re working your way down the list of our most-queued dishes in The Kitchens or taking the time to discover our new stalls Wheelcake Island and Simit by Mandira, you’ll be pleased to hear all of our foodie outlets are open as usual throughout the Bank Holiday weekend. Let three days of feasting commence.
