If you’re the sort of person who likes their festive shopping with a side of heavy riffs, good vegan food and a strong drink, I’ve found the perfect December day out for you.
The Black Heart in Camden is throwing open its doors for the Black Heart Winter Market on Saturday 6 December 2025, and it sounds like an absolute treat.
Read more below.
Running from midday until 6pm, this event is spread across three floors of the legendary Camden pub and will be packed with independent sellers offering handmade goods, artwork, vintage clothing, jewellery, and even occult supplies for those who like their shopping a little on the mysterious side. Basically, if your idea of a good Christmas market involves tattoos, tarot cards and vegan food instead of mulled wine under fairy lights, this is the one for you.
The Black Heart’s kitchen run by LD’s is completely vegan, so you’ll be able to grab something tasty while you browse. Expect hearty dishes, wintery drinks, and generally just a good time. There’ll also be DJs spinning tunes throughout the day, a charity raffle, and even tattoo flash if you fancy marking the occasion in a more permanent way. Dogs are welcome too, so your furry companion doesn’t need to miss out on the fun.
Entry is completely free, and The Black Heart is just a minute’s walk from Camden Town Tube station, tucked behind The World’s End. You can find full details over at ourblackheart.com.
See you at The Black Heart for some festive mischief.
