In the middle of the freezing cold January we organised our first event. We invited food bloggers and well-known supper club hosts to transform some of the remaining empty units for a day. They brought with them hundreds of enthusiastic followers, many coming to Brixton for the first time, and showed us events were the way forward.

Spacemakers and the new traders curated a rolling festival of events and pop-ups to support these fledgling businesses. We hoped to shift focus from the market as a trading space towards it becoming a social space as well. We wanted it to be a place where you might come to meet friends, to be entertained, to learn something new or to trade skills and ideas. A place where curious and unexpected things happened. And we found that thousands of people wanted to join us.
