SoLo Craft Fair is so excited to host a series of Christmas markets in the heart of London this festive season. The Pier section of Between the Bridges will be transformed into a craft-wonderland with 60 different makers selling truly unique Christmas Gifts.

Between the Bridges will be decked out with the most festive display of decorations, food vendors, Christmas cocktails, photo booths and more - so there will be plenty going on to get you in the Christmas spirit.

We will be there every Sunday from 12th November to 17th December 12-5pm, each week with an array of different talented makers. Remember to support small this Christmas!

How to find us:

Between the Bridges is the colourful popup next to Jubilee Gardens & the London Eye (look for blues, creams, and reds). The entrance is by the carousel and the SNOG pink double decker bus along Southbank. The entrance has 'Between the Bridges' written across it; this is where you enter. Then you will wonder through the garden to the main arena, and up on your left is the pier where we will be with 60 wonderful traders.

To keep books out of landfill , SoLo Craft Fair will be treating guests to a 'Blind Date with a Book'... what on earth does this mean I hear you cry?!

Well, the concept is simple (if not a little abstract) - members of the SoLo Craft Fair team will set up camp outside their shop in Elephant and Castle with a selection of 'blind' books on display.

Blind books are books with their covers hidden under wrapping paper, with only a few written details describing what you can expect from your book date. Everyone who comes can choose a book based purely on its 'personality'. Will you be choosing a dangerous, classic or romantic date? And what's better still, it will be free to meet your date and take them home with you! (If you have any 'dates' at home that you no longer feel the spark with, feel free to bring them and swap for a new model - this is encouraged in this new line of dating but you are welcome to turn up completely unattached!)

With our 'Blind Dates with a Book' we plan to bring a bit of cheer to the community prior to the onset of what the news keeps reporting as one of the hardest winters to come. All books will be second hand so the concept is completely sustainable and doesn't cost anything to those taking part.

What's better still, one of the books will contain a £10 SoLo Craft Fair voucher to spend in the shop if you pick the lucky book!

The SoLo Craft Fair Shop will be open, showcasing the designs of over 60 makers, and Little Louie's Cafe and wine bar will be open serving coffee and cocktails if you fancy a refreshment whilst you're there.

Books will be available on a first come first served basis, so arrive early to avoid disappointment!

You can find the SoLo Craft Fair Shop at Elephant Stores, 14 Ash Avenue, Elephant and Castle, SE17 1GQ.
