Emerging Makers’ Market
From wellness products to children's books, jewellery to smoothies, we’ll transform Barking Riverside's Station Square into our Emerging Makers' Market.
A place for local traders and independent makers' to showcase their products for one day to residents and visitors alike for some carefully curated retail therapy.
Food & Drink
Grab some tasty homecooked food from our Barking Riverside homecooks (between 12-2pm) or why not grab something delicious to eat from our street food traders.
Or grab a drink at the bar to rehydrate with your mates, sit back, relax and take in all the action at Station Square.
Wild Riverside Sauna
Enjoy all the feel-good benefits of deep heat, cold contrast and delicious steam in this pop-up riverside spa.
Ages 18+ only.
