Saturday 28th February 2026: All the brands trading at our Popup Shop in Borough Yards
We’re SO proud to announce we’ll be opening a pop-up shop in Borough Yards at the end of this month! On Saturday 28th February & Sunday 1st March! We can’t believe it!
For one weekend only we’ll be taking a lineup of incredible makers and locating them inside two shops within the historic arches of Borough Yards, on a revived Victorian street, called Dirty Lane.
Just like all our events you’ll find 35 different makers trading with us each day on Saturday and Sunday, and we’ve focused on booking an exciting lineup-of some returning but mostly new makers who you won’t ever have seen trade with us before, all of which you can discover here in this blog.
If you’ve never discovered it before we know you’ll absolutely love this iconic new location at Borough Yards because of the amazing transport links, yummy restaurants and convenient location that’s right next to London Bridge station. Nestled amongst amazing London history, culture, bars and other shops, we’re so proud to bring a selection of the UKs most talented makers here for you to shop with. It’s the first time we’ll ever be opening the doors to our very own shops, so this is a really huge deal for us, we hope you’ll come down to celebrate with us.
The two shops will be located right next door to each other, so it’s really easy for you to browse all the brands we’ll be showcasing. We’ve even got a really talented artist who’s going to paint the window displays for us. We can’t wait!
