A little frost, a lot of sparkle and plenty going on. This Christmas, the whole of Camden Market is getting into the spirit, with glowing trees and brass bands bringing Stables and North Yard to life at festive Night Markets every Thursday.
Over in Hawley Wharf, and back by popular demand, our grotto returns, with Mother and Father Christmas ready to welcome little ones into their glittering ice palace, complete with penguins, polar bears and a friendly snow leopard. Here, families can enjoy festive workshops, meet Mother and Father Christmas, and capture festive photos.
Then there’s the important stuff: mulled wine, street food, indulgent menus across the market, and plenty more to discover along the way. Have yourself a very Camden Christmas.

Curated in association with Orphée Kashala, explore a visual exhibition that honours the people who have shaped Camden’s community and cultural legacy.
The exhibition will showcase archival imagery, artworks and photographs of creatives, artists, and pioneers who have a link to Camden. 

Featured figures include :

Akala
Beryl Gilroy
Claudia Jones
Daniel Kaluuya
Horace Ové
Jazzie B
Little Simz
Normski Anderson
Una Marson
Vas Blackwood

Starting on the 27th August 2026, an exclusive JAŸ-Z 30 pop-up experience is coming to Camden Market. Right here in Camden Market Stables, UMusic Shop Camden will be celebrating JAŸ-Z’s highly anticipated upcoming shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 4th and 5th September.
The pop-up will be open daily from 11am. to 7 pm between 27th August and 2nd September, ahead of Jay-Z’s only U.K. performances of the year on 4th and 5th September. The Brooklyn-born rapper last toured the U.K. in 2018 as part of his On The Run II trek with Beyoncé, visiting stadiums in Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow and London.
This pop-up offers fans an exclusive immersion into JAY-Z’s world. Visitors can access limited-edition London-specific merchandise, pieces from the wider 30th-anniversary collection, Armand de Brignac and copies of The Book of HOV: A Tribute to JAY-Z by Assouline.
Every evening from 5pm to 7pm, the retail experience will transform into an intimate live venue, featuring sets from premier London tastemakers and DJs including DJ Target, DJ Manny Norté, DJ Semtex and DJ Esi.
