Love Wimbledon’s Local Market Turns 10

Local Market on The Piazza 10th Anniversary

 

Love Wimbledon celebrated a milestone achievement as we marked 10 years of our Local Market on The Piazza on 1st-2nd April.

It was a special day for our new and long-standing stallholders, shining a light on the the creativity and diversity of local independent makers and producers. The day was a great success with live music, delicious themed treats, giveaways and a visit from the Mayor of Merton. A big thank you to local independent business Quality Stitch, who repurposed Love Wimbledon fabric to make beautiful buntings for the occasion.

From our very first market in 2013 with just 11 stalls, we have become such a popular market in south west London for both stallholders and visitors, and we now host 27 stalls each month.  Over those years, we have developed a wonderful sense of community with local residents becoming regulars for many of our stallholders and market.
