Expect to find quirky and experimental products made by local designers and makers and Store's After School club students.
There's also a Granby Workshop pop-up selling colourful and totally unique platters, cups and more (6-8 December).
The best bit though is if you buy one of the Kent-grownChristmas trees, after Christmas there's a tree-recycling project – whereby the pine needles of old trees are transformed into gin by Bloomsbury Distillery.
Simply return your tree to Kiosk N1C after 4th January and pick up a gift voucher for a bottle of Christmas tree gin. And kiss goodbye to Dry January...
