2020 would have been the sixth year of Leyton&Stone Designers Christmas Markets!
Organisers Esme and Liz said: “Due to COVID-19 we won’t be able to enjoy the lovely socialness, music and fun of the markets, as well as the browsing each other’s stalls, chatting with customers, posing for photos with Santa and mulled wine, but we can do a small online event to try and help those traders who'd usually be getting ready for our markets about now!
“So, lovely Leyton&Stone Designers - please share photos of your latest creations in our Facebook event ASAP (no need to wait!), include prices, links and contact details so that people can buy from you - let's make it easy to #shoplocal this Christmas.”
Prefer Instagram? No worries just tag Leyton&Stone and use the #leytonstonechristmasmarket before Saturday 28 November 2020 to see stories featuring your posts!
