Food options will delight your palate with authentic fish and chips, adhering to recipes endorsed by the British Fish & Chips Association, courtesy of Marin. Guests can also enjoy the rich flavors of tea from the British luxury tea brand Newby, alongside fresh produce and home-cooked delicacies from Hive & Barrow, which is famed for its organic farming practices.

Additionally, first-time vendors such as Baylis & Harding, known for their popular hand washes, and Corgi, the Royal Family's sock supplier, will present festive gift items that represent the best of British craftsmanship and quality.

The market will open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and payment methods will vary by vendor, with options including cash, cards, and cashless payments.
