The African Market A unique Design & Crafts Market showcasing the talents from Africa and inspired by African cultures

The African Market is a unique Design & Crafts Market showcasing the talents from Africa and inspired by African cultures. We hold regular events at the Rich Mix and Old Spitalfields Market.

The African Market showcases original & ethical fashion, accessories, jewellery, shoes as well as Arts & Crafts, homeware, natural beauty and health products, books, music, arts and more. Local & international charities are also represented, promoting their actions and raising awareness but also funds by selling goods.

Entertainment, cultural experiences and workshops are also a big part of the African Market experience. Expect to find things like  Facepainting, Glitter Tattoos, Drumming Workshops, Storytelling and other kids activities.

More than an exhibition and trade space, The African Market is a place of curiosity attracting an eclectic mix of people including families, young people, students & adults, and a networking platform both for traders and interested visitors, connecting amateurs, professionals and passionates.

And to complete the atmosphere, delicious African Food is served.
