Time Out says

Another one of the city's many conservation projects, the former Police Married Quarters has been revitalised as a centre for all things creative and design-based. An exciting mix of creative enterprises can be found at PMQ, where old residential units have been converted into small boutiques selling handmade products – ranging from jewellery to homeware goods – as well as design studios and art spaces. Pop-ups, markets, art festivals, and festive happenings are also common occurrences at PMQ.

What’s on

Pocket Art exhibition at PMQ

Curated by local artist armechan, Pocket Art is Hong Kong’s first art collection card exhibition. Running at PMQ from May 29 to June 21, this unique showcase brings together 10 local and overseas artists – including comic master Li Chi Tak, Rex Koo, Lio Yeung, Erika Shiba, Abby Lee Yan Yee, and many more – to shrink contemporary art into palm-sized masterpieces. Visitors can hold, swap, and build their own mini art collection with various packs offering nearly 200 collectable cards, and there’ll even be grading and authentication services from Grading Eleven Authentication so you can seal your card inside exclusive protective slabs. If you prefer to wear your art, the exhibition has also partnered with local fashion brand Grocery to translate the visual motifs of the art cards into wearable daily items.

PMQ Play Stuff Fest

Play Stuff Fest is back and it's turning PMQ into a retro fast-food toy diner! For three days only, the even makes its grand return with a limited-time toy diner concept dubbed Toy Guys, gathering more than 40 independent design brands and collectives from across Hong Kong, Bangkok, Seoul, and Taipei. Beyond browsing rare drops and exclusive character merch from beloved local studios, visitors can catch live graffiti painting, sharing sessions from artists, and interactive workshops to sculpt their own mini hamburgers. Real food trucks and stalls like Sick! Burger, teemtonefai, and Treble Coffee will also be on-site to keep you fuelled. Tickets for adults are $20 each (kids aged 12 and under can enter for free), and early-bird ticket holders will even score a limited-edition mini blind box figure to take home.
  • Markets and fairs

Pici 10th Anniversary Market

Celebrate 10 years of pasta with Pici at this one-day-only street market at PMQ. Take a walk down Pici Lane for tastings and pasta-rolling workshops, explore a decade of history at the Pici Wall, and wet your whistle at the Partner Pantry featuring an official Aperol Spritz station alongside artisanal gelato, premium wines, and other tipples. Fans of Netflix’s hit show Culinary Class Wars will also be delighted to see season one winner Napoli Matfia in action for the Young Pasta Chef Competition, where five talented kids shortlisted from the FWD Max Academy will roll, wrap, and garnish their own ravioli live under the chef’s mentorship. To top it all off, Napoli Matfia will be rolling up his sleeves for a live demonstration to recreate his signature dish, and if you’re brave enough to volunteer for the Pasta Challenge, you might even get some direct feedback from the champion himself on stage.
