Toklas has confirmed the return of its much-loved Christmas Market, taking place on Saturday, December 6, with a full day of festive food, drink and gifting centred around its bakery on Surrey Street, just off the Strand.
Running from 10 am until sell-out, the market brings together a carefully curated line-up of some of the UK’s most exciting independent makers, producers and craftspeople. Entry is free, but early arrival is strongly advised; last year’s market sold out by 1 pm.
At the heart of the market will be the Toklas stand itself, showcasing the bakery’s signature Christmas range. Expect Christmas puddings (£40, serves five), whole stollen (£24), alongside lebkuchen, mince pies, biscotti, granola and chutneys, all neatly pitched as generous gifts or centrepieces for the festive table. Toklas wines will also be available to take home, with bagged biscuits and build-your-own hampers rounding out the offering.
All Christmas products will be available in-store from Saturday, November 29, with additional collection dates each Saturday in December via the Toklas Slerp shop. Final collections take place on Saturday, December 20.
Joining Toklas on the day will be an eclectic and food-led mix of traders, including:
Quite Nice Clothing, the East London studio known for hand-drawn, culinary-inspired homeware and apparel
Emma Cantlay of Mainly Breakfast, bringing illustrated calendars and prints
