If you’re determined to find unique gifts for your loved ones this Christmas, skip the department stores and instead head for one of London’s many wonderful winter markets. Not only could you find something special and genuinely one-of-a-kind, you’ll be supporting independent businesses and local artists, too. What’s not to love?
With that in mind, Time Out has put together a guide to the capital’s finest Christmas markets. The Satanic Flea Market, for example, is great for the witchy people in your life, the Finnish Church Christmas Fair is perfect for cute kids stuff and the Novikov Mayfair Christmas Market is ideal if you’re after ultra-luxurious items. But Time Out’s favourite Christmas fair of all this festive season is the Christmas Independent Ceramics Market in Peckham.
Taking place in Copeland Park on just one day in December, the market will bring together more than 150 ceramicists from the UK, Europe and beyond. They’ll range from students and emerging talent to studio collectives and well-established artists. For many exhibitors, it’s their first time selling directly to the public.
A butter dish, an incense holder, a vase, statement jewellery, trinket dishes, wacky sculptures... you’ll almost certainly find something here for your best friend, mother-in-law or secret Santa that no one else will have. There’ll be elegant Chantilly-glazed tableware from Jordan Duclaut, adorable earrings and miniatures from Lisa van Spronsen, colourful floral sculptures from Ania Rekas, rustic wood-fired mugs from Imogen Charleston and so much more.
The Independent Ceramics Market takes place throughout the year, but this edition is given a Christmassy edge with mulled wine, seasonal food and a sound system blasting festive tunes.
The Christmas Independent Ceramics Market will take place at Unit 8 Copeland Park, 133 Copeland Road in Peckham from 11am until 5pm on December 13. Entry is £2. You can book your ticket here.
