Christmas Markets
Come December, the city is packed with Christmas markets. Though we love them all, here are two that are slightly more ‘out-of-the-box’:
- Yokimono Japanese Christmas Market, 6-8 Dec: Head to Dalston for a wide variety of goodies, such as ceramics, stationary, and jewellery, all made by Japanese artists.
- Christmas Independent Ceramics Market, 8 Dec: Bringing together 150 independent potters selling their unique wares, expect a wide variety of all things ceramics from tableware to sculptures.
Cat On a Hot Tin Roof | Until 1 Feb 2025
The Almeida is back with another Tennessee Williams play, this time a fresh revival of the 1955 ‘Cat On a Hot Tin Roof’ starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Kingsley Ben-Adir. Following The Pollitts, an old money Southern cotton family, the three-act play explores divisions in the family as they gather for the patriarch’s birthday. Unsurprisingly, the hot ticket of the year sold out very quickly, so we’d sign up to their newsletter for updates as we think this may go the way of the Paul Mezcal Streetcar production with a possible West End transfer… fingers crossed!
