For over ten years, the Love Wimbledon Christmas Market has been lighting up The Piazza, attracting visitors to Wimbledon Town Centre while providing start-ups and small businesses with a platform to grow their brand and customer base. This vibrant community includes longstanding stallholders like Me Me Jewellry and Lusobrazil, who have been part of the market since its inception.
In 2024, rising costs and weather-related cancellations threatened the market’s viability, leading to a potential loss of income for the Business Improvement District (BID). Coty, a multinational beauty company headquartered in Wimbledon, stepped in as a sponsor, providing vital funding and support for small businesses. Their contribution helped Love Wimbledon recoup some of the lost investment, ensuring the market’s continued success.
Many independent traders have flourished through the market, and have gone on to expand their businesses within Wimbledon:
The Love Wimbledon Market has helped us to build our a loyal customer base and grow our business. In addition to trading at the market, we are now catering large corporate events and hosting workshops in Wimbledon.

We are a small independent business championing British dairy. We have been trading at the Love Wimbledon Market since 2021 and it has been so successful that we have now opened a little cheese and wine bar in Wimbledon.
