Sun. Shopping. Great Food & Drinks. In Community.

In the middle of carnival and festival season, before the evenings get cooler and the rhythm of autumn returns, join us for a soulful summer gathering at a local Black-owned venue we're proud to be host our pop-up event at for the very first time, Windrush Millennium Centre.

Spend the afternoon discovering incredible independent Black-owned businesses, chatting to the people behind the brands, treating yourself (or someone else) to something special, and soaking up a space filled with creativity, culture and community. With delicious food, live music, family-friendly activities and plenty of space to relax, it's the perfect way to spend a summer Saturday.
