Regular events at venues across Walthamstow

E17 Designers markets take place at a number of venues across Walthamstow, but the lack of a permanent location and varied dates only seems to add to their appeal.  The market’s success is largely due to the enthusiasm and energy of the organisers, who make an effort to promote each season’s markets and over a decade of trading have acquired a great reputation and a loyal following.  Each market draws about 25-30 designer-makers offering jewellery, stylish knit wear, handmade clothing for grownups and their offspring, artwork and original textiles as well as accessories and homewares. The stalls are almost all staffed by the designer-makers, who are keen to talk about their wares and how they are made.

The atmosphere at these events is very upbeat with lots of regulars showing up to chat and shop and  few leaving without a bag of goodies and a smile.  The events are more than just a place to shop with occasional workshops, craft of faceprinting for children and live music or DJ performances all part of the show and free entry to boot.  Take a look at their website or follow on social media to find out about forthcoming events.
