Lake of Stars launch new event at Rich Mix featuring Olympic sports, Fenchurch sample sales, live music and art

Market Club is a new kind of free event for the leading East London Arts Centre that will brighten up your Sundays

The finest festival team in the world are kicking off the New Year moving their Wednesday night sessions to monthly Sunday celebrations of art, music, film, markets and Olympic sports.

Live music comes from rising indie-folk star Sam Sallon plus reggae/dub outfit Scubaroots with DJ sets from Fabric’s Ali B amongst others. In the coming months expect to see the likes of Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Dom Chung, Wandy, Goldierocks, Ross Allen and more.

Sundays in Shoreditch are alive from Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Columbia Rd markets – get indoors with the Market Club’s mini market selling everything from books to music to a sample sale from Fenchurch.

Once you’ve done some shopping catch a film at one of Rich Mix’s 3 luxury screens, explore the exhibition on the mezzanine by renowned artist Ben Jones or enjoy the digital exhibitions on the big screen including British Museum curator Chris Spring’s African Art Now. There will also be short films, board games, free papers, and cafe deals to keep everyone happy.

Market Club will have Olympic sport tasters each month kicking off with table tennis in February. There will be a demonstration and training by professionals then a chance for everyone to join in. Ping Pong veterans, the Young Offenders Institute, will be there to help get things going using their unique round robin game. Fencing and indoor rowing are planned for March and April dates.
