Join us for our vibrant new monthly market launching on Saturday 4th October at its Westbourne Park location.
Taking place on the first Saturday of the month from 12pm to 6pm, the market will be curated by cultural icons, featuring a range of cherry-picked traders, and inviting locals and guests to swing by and enjoy the public courtyard overlooking the Grand Union Canal.
This month’s market, curated by cultural enthusiast Pete Adarkwah, founder of BBE Recordings, unites independent record sellers and bookshops in a celebration of arts and culture. With sellers championing everything from crates of vinyl, magazines, and coffee table books to bestselling novels, highlighting the breadth and diversity of London’s independent music and arts scene.
Alongside the market, Canal Restaurant will be selling their signature cheeseburger and fries, as well as offering free mulled apple juice to keep market-goers nice and warm.
This month’s sellers include Hoxton Mini Press, an independent East London publisher of beautifully designed photo books; Maqam Books, a nomadic bookshop founded by Palestinian bookseller Mohammad Masoud that keeps Arabic literature alive in London; Prim.Black, a library and creative agency supporting queer individuals of Black ancestry; and Far Out Recordings, a London-based label unearthing new and old Brazilian music. Joining them are Soul II Soul, Rough Trade Books, Book Love, and Andrew Ashong’s Main Ingredient where he’s selling Golden Era Hip Hop from his private collection.
Named after the cockney rhyming slang for Taxi Cab, as a nod to the site’s location as the former London Taxi Drivers’ headquarters, and opening as a new neighbourhood fixture. Mason & Fifth welcomes all to discover, unwind and support independent creatives at the new monthly market.
