Brixton will be celebrating its local markets at part of the UK-wide Love Your Local Market Week from Friday 26 May – Wednesday 31 May.

During Love Your Local Market week, there will be plenty of activities for everyone – young and old – with stalls, celebrity breakfast, face painting, clowns, stilt walkers, DJs, live bands and walking tours.
