SATURDAY 3RD DECEMBER 2022
Wow, where do we begin! This was our busiest and best market yet. Thank you for stopping by, supporting our makers and shopping more consciously for Christmas.
Although it was the most fabulous day, it was also a sad one too, because it was the last market held at House of Vans, London. We absolutely loved hosting 5 markets in this venue, and collaborating with the amazing team at Black Sparrow Presents.
We are looking for a new space to partner with. If you know somewhere suitable, please get in touch.
SATURDAY 11TH MARCH
Thank you for visiting our Spring Market in Leake Street Arches, we had such a fantastic day! The famous Graffiti Tunnel was filled with lots of incredible makers, artists and designers selling their handmade, eco-conscious wares.
This was a brand new location and we were blown away by the support for our markers, and how busy it was!
Join our mailing list to keep informed about future events.
We had another fantastic day at our favourite venue - House of Vans in Waterloo. Thank you to everyone who visited or shopped the market online. The tunnels were filled with 28 incredible eco-conscious businesses selling their handmade, unique gifts and goodies.
House of Vans is such an epic venue and we can’t wait to be back to host our Christmas Market at the end of the year. Keep an eye out on Instagram and through our Newsletter for market updates and application openings.
SATURDAY 19TH MARCH 2022
What a weekend! It was fantastic to be back at House of Vans to host our third community market. Thank you for popping along to support our makers and for shopping online via our website.
We were blown away by the turnout, and thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all. With your help, our raffle raised £465 for Ukraine.
We are looking forward to being back at House of Vans on Saturday 14th May for our Spring Market.

OXFORD STREET CHRISTMAS POP UP 2021
We took over Sook Spaces on Oxford Street for a Christmas Pop Up and it was fantastic! Thank you to everyone that came along to support our makers and shop small.
We hope to do it again soon!
SATURDAY 27TH NOVEMBER & SATURDAY 4TH DECEMBER 2021
We had such a blast hosting two Community Christmas Markets at House of Vans near Waterloo. Thank you to everyone who came down to support or shopped online via our website. We showcased a new line up of 35 makers each weekend, who set up incredible stalls in the amazing tunnel spaces.
Alongside the market, there was the skate park, bar, exhibition space, photo booth, and cafe to keep everyone entertained and well fed.
We are so grateful to House of Vans for letting us put on these events and support small businesses in the lead up to Christmas! Looking forward to working with them again soon.

SATURDAY 3RD & SUNDAY 4TH JULY 2021
WOW! Another fantastic event at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Despite the weather forecast being pretty grim, we were lucky to scathe the rain and showcase 30 brilliant businesses in the King William Colonnade on both days.
Thank you to everyone who came to visit, shopped small and supported this event. We really appreciate all of your shares and kind words.

Our Eco-Conscious Market at the end of March was fantastic. Thank you to everyone who took a look on Instagram and browsed using our Market Catalogue. The makers had a great time setting up their stalls, introducing their products and making new connections.
Although we strive to promote and showcase eco-friendly businesses at all of our events, this market specifically featured makers that value sustainability at the heart of what they do.

Next market dates will be 22/23 May, 5/6 June and 3/4 July. We hope to see you there, whether in-person or virtually.
SATURDAY 27TH FEBRUARY - SATURDAY 6TH MARCH 2021
Our first event of 2021 was great! We showcased a curated selection of independent makers via our Website and Instagram, and it was such a successful weekend.
From art, candles and stationery products, to foodie gifts, jewellery and homewares, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
The Market Catalogue was live for a whole week, in order to give everyone more time to shop, and it was great to see that people were still shopping even after the main event had finished.
Thank you to everyone who took part. Whether you shopped, browsed, had a look at our Market Catalogue or just followed the event on social, we couldn't have done it without you.
CHRISTMAS MARKETS - THE OLD ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE, GREENWICH 2020
We enjoyed taking part in a couple of Christmas Markets at The Old Royal Naval College. The market took place over two weekends, and it was a great opportunity to sell beautiful products from some of our makers.
We had a selection of LMM goodies on our stall including candles, sweet treats, decorations, stationery and Christmas gifts to name a few.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat, bought something, or showed an interest in LMM. A big thank you also to The Old Royal Naval College for organising this event.

The event happened over the weekend of 21st and 22nd November, and we had customers visiting from all over the World, even as far as America and Australia. The buzz and support for the 35 independent makers involved was incredible, and so was the community built during this event between our makers.
From art, stationery and Christmas gifts, to sweet treats, ceramics and self care products, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
The Market Catalogue was live for a whole week, in order to give everyone more time to shop, and it was great to see that people were still shopping even after the main event had finished.

There were 30 different creatives and independent businesses showcasing their work and selling their beautiful products.

Thank you to everyone who took part, it was a very successful event.
SATURDAY 30TH MAY - SUNDAY 7TH JUNE 2020
On Saturday 30th May we hosted a free online market on our Instagram stories.
Customers were able to visit our Instagram from 11am to discover and shop from 220 different makers and small businesses. There was such a varied range of beautiful products to enjoy.
We housed 180 makers on our website for one week afterwards, so that customers could continue to shop, and the creatives could still benefit, even after the event was over.

SATURDAY 16TH NOVEMBER 2019
Before LMM was born in February 2020, Olivia organised a craft market with The Duchess Belle in Battersea.
The market event was such a success, hosting 20 independent makers and small businesses around the outside and inside of the pub. Being close to Battersea Cats & Dogs Home, Battersea Park and Vauxhall, lots of passers-by came in for a browse. The stall holders were pleasantly surprised with the sales on the day, a few of them even sold out of items! The pub location made a lovely venue, and interesting change to the usual London craft markets.
We hope to host another event here soon!
