Go East and Strongroom will hold a free winter night market in the Shoreditch venue’s Curtain Road courtyard on Saturday 14 November, from 5pm to 9pm, according to the event listing on DICE.
The listing is titled “Go East x Strongroom | Winter Night Market” and gives the address as Strongroom, 120-124 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London EC2A 3SQ. Doors open at 5pm. The price is given as free and the capacity as 300. DICE files the night under art, in London, and names Go East X Strongroom as the presenter.
“We’ve teamed up with Go East to put on this Winter Market in our courtyard,” the DICE page says. Traders will bring vintage fashion, jewellery and gifts, and stalls will serve mulled wine, cider and Jubel. Festive music will run through the evening. The description shown on the page is cut short at “Read more”; the full listing also refers to vinyl and collectibles. No traders are named beyond Go East.
The venue will switch on its Christmas display the same night. “We will be lighting up our 12 foot tree along with the rest of our Christmas lighting,” the listing says.
Two listings for the same evening
A second listing for the night, on Eventbrite, carries a different title: “Go East Vintage Christmas Night Market at Strongroom”. It is published by Go East Vintage and gives the same date, the same hours of 5pm to 9pm, and the same Curtain Road address. The name used by the venue and on DICE is the winter night market.
The Eventbrite page sets out a wider spread of goods than the DICE summary. It lists vintage fashion, vinyl, homeware and collectibles, and promises “a curated selection across the house and courtyard, including rare vintage fashion and timeless threads, vinyl deep cuts and classics, unique handmade homeware, and one-of-a-kind collectibles”.
Under event details, that listing says stalls will be both indoor and outdoor, and that the event goes ahead rain or shine. It describes the evening as “an in-person sustainable shopping evening for crate diggers and vintage fashion hunters”, and gives the running time as four hours.
The two pages differ on the layout. DICE’s short summary places the market in the courtyard, while the full listing also says “We’re packing the house (and the courtyard!)” and, under setup, “Outdoor stalls (rain or shine, we’re fine!)”. Eventbrite says stalls will be both indoor and outdoor, “across the house and courtyard”, and that the event goes ahead rain or shine. The date, the hours and the address match. DICE’s summary panel shows only the 5pm start, but the full listing, like Eventbrite, sets the hours as 5pm to 9pm.
Second-hand trading is a recurring subject in this part of Hackney. Made in Shoreditch has previously covered the Bottle Factory Flea, another vintage and second-hand market in the area.
Christmas lighting on Curtain Road
The 12-foot tree will be lit as part of the market, alongside the rest of Strongroom’s Christmas lighting. That puts the switch-on three days after a larger one to the south, where Old Spitalfields Market turns on its Christmas lights at 6pm on Wednesday 11 November, with Hoxton Radio broadcasting from 1pm, a gospel choir at 5.30pm and free face painting for children.
Entry carries no charge on either listing. DICE handles free tickets through its app, which stores them for the holder; the platform says that is how it keeps tickets away from touts. The page also carries a code field for discounted or locked tickets.
The DICE listing states that the night is an 18+ event, with a strict no-ID, no-entry policy. It says physical government photo ID is required, and that photos or copies of IDs are not accepted.
Curtain Road has appeared in other listings covered on this site, including a fish fry at Barbs on the same street.
A Spice Girls disc at the venue
Strongroom carries a blue disc marking its link to the Spice Girls. The disc was photographed at the Curtain Road site in July 2026, and the image sits on Wikimedia Commons under a CC BY-SA 4.0 licence.
The Eventbrite listing uses that history to sell the evening. It tells shoppers they will browse “in the halls where music history was made”, and calls Strongroom “the birthplace of the Spice Girls’ ‘Wannabe’ album”. The wording is the organiser’s. The page does not say which rooms were used, or when, and it gives no further detail on the recordings.
The listing nods at the same connection with a “Zigazig-ah” aimed at shoppers who know the record. Neither page gives a line-up for the festive music, and neither names the traders booked for the stalls.
Eventbrite lists the venue as Strongroom Venue, 120-124 Curtain Road, London EC2A 3SQ, with driving, public transport, cycling and walking directions on the page. Both listings give the date as Saturday 14 November and the hours as 5pm to 9pm, with no charge to get in. The DICE page is the one that states a capacity, of 300.
