Grand Opening of Cotall Street Market + Poplar Picnic

Saturday 9 August 2025

We were thrilled to see Cotall Street Market featured on the ITV Evening News — a proud moment for our community and everyone who has helped bring this vibrant market to life. Every month, Cotall Street Market transforms our neighbourhood into a lively hub of food, craft, culture, and connection. It’s more than a market — it’s a celebration of the creativity and diversity of Poplar. From mouth-watering street food to locally made crafts, music, and family activities, there’s something for everyone. The ITV coverage captures the very heart of what we’re about: creating a space where neighbours meet, small businesses thrive, and cultures are shared. Whether you come to shop, eat, perform, or simply soak in the atmosphere, you’re part of a growing story that puts community first. If you missed us this time, don’t worry — Cotall Street Market will be back every Saturday 10am–4pm. Come join us in celebrating local talent, flavours, and togetherness.
