Sunday 10th March: All the brands taking part in our Sample Sale in South London
Want to shop small with giant discounts? We got you! This March we’re hosting a huge small business Sample Sale at Gipsy Hill Brewery Taproom. Over this four day bonanza event, you'll find amazing discounts, bargains, and one-of-a-kind samples available from over 120 small and local businesses all with up to 50% off.
On each day you’ll find a different line-up of 30 small businesses (so you can come for all four days if you fancy and find different things every time). As always, expect to find an array of incredible handmade products including fashion, ceramics, art, jewellery, homeware and more all with up to 50% off. This will span from almost-perfect seconds, samples of products that didn’t end up going into production and so are completely unique, plus past season stock. It might also include new stock with a cheeky discount or two! Perfect for a good rummage, and finding a beautiful bargain.
As well as an indoor market with over 30 different small brands from around the UK each day, you'll be able to order pints, eat delicious street food and find a table to sit down with friends and family to enjoy the day. Both the market and the taproom itself are inside to keep you toasty, and we'll also have multiple tables set up outside under cover so once you're done shopping, you can spend the afternoon eating and drinking with loved ones.
