What's On at Tomorrow's Hammersmith Spring Market

---

Stage and and street performances, global food quarter and over 100 stalls

Hammersmith town centre is once again going traffic free for a Spring Market tomorrow, Saturday 26 May, from 11am to 7pm.

It's the second time King Street has gone traffic free, following the successful inaurgural event last December.

And this time, as well as more than 100 stalls offering crafts, jewellery, home accessories, candles, fashion and art from local independent businesses. there will be a packed line-up of stage performances, street entertainment and a chance to eat your way around the world at the food quarter.

The main stage in Lyric Square will have live entertainment from across the arts throughout the day:

Local gospel singer Ruth Wallace will open the show followed by Indian dancers from the Bhavan Centre in West Kensington.

The Irish Cultural Centre, George Price (the unique chapman stick player), the Lyric Theatre, Scariofunk Collective CIC, ZHL Strings and Michele Osten Duo complete the packed line-up.

For those in search of more music there will be four live music busking zones across the traffic-free market.

The choice will include Indie Rock from George Charlton and Balkan and gypsy tunes by Balamouk.

There will also be street entertainment with something to keep the whole family happy, including the Vaudevillian circus double act with a modern twist. The pair – dressed in fine-tailored suits – play the saxophone accompanied with rapid fire tap dance and juggling bottles.

Granny Turismo are also back to cause havoc after their memorable maiden performance at the last North End Road spring market in March.

For the kids there will be Charlie the Clown and the Albert Circus which is running children’s workshops - plus mention the Ladybirds, Bridie, the 8ft Irish Maid and her 7ft tea trolley, and many more.

King Street in Hammersmith will be closed between the gyratory and Leamore Street during the spring market on 26 May. Residents and business owners will still have access to Leamore Street.
