At Everything Must Go, Sat. 16th December from 1pm... 14 Soho Street, London, W1

For one Saturday only in December, the Heavenly Social’s blink and you’ve missed it venue, Everything Must Go, will host the Socialism Art Market, a one-off one-stop Christmas shop in conjunction with Socialism magazine. We’ve invited loads of our friends to set up shop, offering the kind of things you might like to buy for your typically hard to buy for mates and relatives. The market will feature music, toys, clothes, artwork, photography and a vast selection of drinks for when you’re trying to decide. The market will be a cash only event, there is a cashpoint in the venue and several within a few yards on nearby Oxford Street.
