A special Diwali-themed edition of St Albans Market's monthly Sunday market, with food, crafts, gifts, fashion and jewellery inspired by the Festival of Lights.
St Albans Market is taking on a Diwali theme on Sunday 8 November, with the city centre playing host to a special edition of the monthly Second Sunday+ Collective Art market. It falls on the day of the festival itself, so it's a themed market rather than just a nod to it.
If you've been to the Second Sunday+ before, you'll know the usual mix: local food, drink, and sustainable arts and crafts. This time, the line-up is built around the Festival of Lights. Traders are coming from across food, crafts, gifts, fashion, jewellery, homeware and artwork, with their stock chosen to reflect the culture, colour and variety of Diwali. It sits alongside the regular local fare, so you'll find the themed stalls and the usual St Albans market staples in the same place.
It's part of the city's established Sunday trading programme, which means it's a proper market day in the centre rather than a standalone event. Browsing is free, so you can wander through without spending a penny if that's your speed.
