From Christmas present-shopping to creative workshops for festive decorations and delicious goods, Hackney Bridge, East London’s culture and culinary hub, is set to become this winter’s perfect destination.
To celebrate the venue’s first Christmas, Hackney Bridge boasts an exciting schedule of family-friendly events and activities including weekend and evening markets, vintage kilo sales, kids’ Christmas crafts workshops, wreath-making workshops, a Christmas tree sale and weekly quiz.
If you’ve yet to make it down, the canalside public destination launched earlier this year (we first wrote about it here) on the edge of the Olympic Park close to Hackney Wick.
It’s home to an eclectic mix of local independent enterprises, including an inclusive beauty salon, a skateboard workshop, illustrators, brewers, furniture makers, music producers, social enterprises, charities and more, giving local enterprises the space they need to thrive together.
