There are few days we love more here at the Social. The Social Christmas Market 2022 is fast approaching, mark Saturday 10 Dec in your diaries.

No one knows for sure when this annual Christmas Fayre started here on Little Portland St, some say there were people selling socks, records and nature books here as far back as the early 1700s. There’s no doubt the annual gatherings stopped for a brief period for the duration of Rascals the gentlemen’s club establishment that resided in these walls before 1999. Bur some time after that the tradition was restarted, with only another brief gap for the year of the pandemic.

This year once we again we swing open the doors at midday for one Saturday of joy before Christmas, turning both floors of the Social into a celebration, a chance to meet friends, drink hot and cold booze, listen to music and the odd talk and of course buy excellent Christmas gifts from the likes of Heavenly Recordings, Caught by the River, John and Suna, Justin Robertson, Real Magic Books and lots more. Art, books, music and other very special things.

We cannot wait to welcome you!

This year’s poster design is by Caio Wheelhouse and is based on three absolutely wonderful Christmas cards he has designed for Caught by the River. They will be available at the market.
