Escape the rain and get lost in an urban jungle at Lido Connect’s art market this July

If you spend any time around Siam Paragon, the Lido Art Cult Market hardly needs an introduction. One of Lido Connect's longest-running fixtures, it has cropped up time and again since 2023 with a straightforward mission: make art something everyone can enjoy while giving both fresh faces and seasoned makers a proper platform.

The whole idea rests on two principles, weaving creativity through daily life and building a community where artists and the people who love their work actually cross paths. Across exhibitions, pop-up stalls and a rotating line-up of hands-on sessions, it carves out room for inspiration and a good natter.

Now hitting its 20th outing, the market goes full woodland with a rainy-season theme called 'Craft to the Jungle'. More than 40 booths from artists and makers fill the floor, so you can browse and snap up all manner of handmade treasures – crafts, home decor, jewellery, ceramics and plenty of one-off pieces you won't spot on the high street.

Shopping isn't the only draw, mind. Workshops and activities run across all three days, so you can get your hands messy, pick up a new skill or simply watch the artists at work. It's an easy win whether you're a sucker for cute, unusual odds and ends or just fancy a laid-back weekend surrounded by creative types in the middle of the city.

Pack a tote bag and lose an afternoon in this leafy hideaway.

At Lido Connect, floor 1. July 10-12, 11am-9pm. Free entry.
