You can also support your local artist-makers at our ECO XMAS FAIR where independent local traders will be selling everything from ceramics, homeware, clothing, illustration, art & design and small-batch cosmetics. Explore the work of some of the very best designers, visual artists and makers in the city. There will be free performances and 'art blocking', so bring clothes and tote bags for printing.
NB: The day is free and open to all. You do not need a ticket to join us but booking allows us to gauge numbers. *Having a ticket does not guarantee you entry to the talks, so arrive early to be sure to secure a seat.* Accessibility: The London Irish Centre is only partially wheelchair accessible. The Main Hall is accessible by wheelchair; unfortunately, the Presidential suite in which talks are being held is not.
