Thank funk it’s Friday!

Throughout June, Leadenhall Market will be alive with the acoustics of a variety of musical performances, with a new ‘Funky Fridays’ series.

Taking place every Friday from 2 June, the market will be hosting musical talent of all genres, for visitors, shoppers and diners to enjoy over lunchtime from 12-2pm.

Performances will include jazz and calypso from Valentino’s Street Band Trio, acoustic pop songs from London Acoustic Project, opera in a gondola from Oyster Opera and jazz, soul and blues from the market’s resident actor and singer, Charlie Carter.

The performances are all free to watch and can be enjoyed from the comfort of the market’s deck chairs, while the beautiful cobbled alleyways also provide ample space for those who want to have a boogie.

Leadenhall Market’s boutique shops, restaurants and bars will be open for visitors to enjoy a spot of shopping and something to eat and drink to get their weekend off to the right start!
