Artisans from across the country proudly display their handmade treasures—delicate silver jewellery catching the winter sunlight, hand-thrown ceramics in earthy hues, and intricate textiles woven with care. Shoppers weave between the stalls, their hands brushing against smooth wooden carvings and soft alpaca wool scarves, drawn into cheerful conversations with makers eager to share the stories behind their crafts.

In the crypt, the market takes on an intimate glow under the vaulted brick ceilings. Stalls are lit by strings of fairy lights, casting warm reflections on glass mosaics and hand-painted ornaments. The murmur of conversation rises and falls as visitors sip mulled cider from steaming cups, pausing to admire leather-bound journals and finely illustrated prints.

Beyond the marketplace, the heart of St Martin’s continues its mission of hospitality and community. Volunteers at The Connection’s stall offer handmade gifts supporting the church’s outreach to the homeless, a reminder of the deeper purpose that underpins this cherished space.

As the afternoon light fades over Trafalgar Square, the market glows with life—a celebration of craftsmanship, community, and the enduring spirit of St Martin-in-the-Fields.
