Join our Patrons and help keep Wapping Market thriving, with exclusive perks, premium rewards, and your name at the heart of our community.
Since launching in April 2021, Wapping Market has generated over £2.5 million in sales, all going straight into the pockets of small, independent businesses.
That’s candlemakers working from kitchen tables, chefs squeezing entire restaurants into vans held together with duct tape, musicians hauling amps across cobblestones, and living room startups rolling the dice. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, our crew are lugging crates, wrestling gazebos into place, and discovering (yet again) that everything we lift seems to be wet, heavy, or leaking.
This kind of grassroots magic is powered by our amazing Market Patrons, whose support helps us keep pitch fees fair, charities trading for free, musicians paid, and the whole thing running smoothly, sort of.
Scroll down to meet some of the makers, the lifters and the people behind it all.

“Wapping Market is a really special place to work. Every weekend I see people connecting, neighbours talking, supporting small businesses, enjoying the music and atmosphere. It feels more like a community than a market. I feel lucky to be part of it.”

“I’m proud to share proper Syrian food with the people here. The market has become like a second home, and it means a lot when customers come back every week, especially when Will says it’s his favourite breakfast!”
