Camden Market Is Transforming For Christmas (And Getting Its First Ever Ice Rink!)

Come and celebrate the 45th birthday of London’s most iconic market, with an ice rink, a grotto and much, much more… 🎄

This November, Camden Market will undergo a merry makeover, which will see the North Yard transform into an illuminated North Pole!

Cross the cobbles to the market, where North London’s longest outdoor ice rink will be waiting for you. Glide across the ice as you glisten under the fairy lights, surrounded by some of London’s loveliest market stalls.

Also joining the festive takeover will be the big man himself, setting up base in his hidden grotto. Inspired by the market’s heritage as former stables and horse hospital buildings, ‘Santa in the Stables’ will host elf-led craft workshops and Father Christmas meet-ups for the little ones.

And of course, what kind of festive birthday celebration would this be without a banging selection of food from some of London’s best street food traders? Try mouthwatering Yuletide specials, including The Cheese Bar’s festive fondue menu…

…the ‘Triple Ho’ vegan Christmas burger from Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner…

…boozy hot chocolates from The Camden Grocer…

…or an instagrammable sweet treat from new dessert parlour, Hans & Gretel!

And if this isn’t enough to satisfy you festive fiends, you’ll be pleased to hear that a ticket for either the grotto or the ice rink will also get you some special discounts with traders across the North Yard – perfect for purchasing Christmas presents for family and friends (or yourself – we won’t judge)!

Ice skating, tick! Grotto, tick! Christmas market, tick! Fabulous festive food, tick! That’s just about everything on our Christmas bucket list ticked off in one day. Head to Camden Market for a wholesome day of festive fun!
