Zero-Emissions Arts Market Set To Return
Hammersmith BID event aims to address air pollution
There will be a Valentine's Day theme to the market
London’s first zero-emissions market is set to return to Hammersmith weekend.
This Sunday (13 February) will be the first in a series of monthly markets in 2022, and will be themed around Valentine’s Day, with entertainment and giveaways for Privilege Card holders throughout the afternoon.
It follows a pilot event in November 2021, attended by the Mayor of Hammersmith & Fulham, Cllr. PJ Murphy.
All stalls and materials will be delivered by zero-emissions transportation and stallholders, who are all local to Hammersmith & Fulham, will be supported by Parcels not Pollution, Hammersmith’s zero-emissions delivery service. In addition, all shoppers will be encouraged to travel sustainably, such as by foot, bicycle, e-scooter, or public transport.
The market will feature a range of merchandise including gifts, home accessories, clothes, art, jewellery, and crafts. Priority will be given to local traders, artists and small businesses operating within the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
Alongside the programme of musical entertainment, the market will be a hub of activity with free cycle training and bike maintenance sessions to encourage future zero-emissions travel for West Londoners.
The BID is also using this project to explore new venues in the town centre as part of their ambition to create a network of connected spaces that champion sustainability and local identity.
BID Director Patricia Bench said, “We’re really excited to be bringing back this Zero-Emissions Market after a successful launch last year. The event combines our commitment to supporting local small businesses, revitalising under-used spaces, and creating a sustainable, low-emissions town centre.”
