Your Acton BID, in collaboration with Design Led, is thrilled to announce the summer edition of the Acton Markers Market, scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 13th, 2024. This vibrant community event will transform Churchfield Road W3 into a bustling marketplace, showcasing a diverse array of artisans and traders.

From 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, attendees can explore a wide variety of stalls offering unique art, fashion jewellery, handcrafted jams, sauces, wines, and home decor. The Acton Markers Market is a perfect opportunity to discover one-of-a-kind items, support local businesses, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of Acton's creative community.

As part of the market day and set-up, part of Churchfield Road will be closed to vehicles between Alfred Rd and Burlington Gardens to allow for the necessary stall spaces.
