Mad Hatter's Markets at Brighton Marina
Popular lore says that the tunnel in Sussex Square’s
private gardens (leading to Black Rock neighbouring the marina)
inspired the opening sequence of Lewis Carroll’s famous
children’s story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. So
it is with this in mind that we have decided to run the Mad
Hatter’s Markets here at Brighton Marina, each weekend in
March starting on Sat 7th.
Offering you more than your average street market, there will be
an eclectic mix stalls located indoor and outdoor, to surprise and
tempt you. Simply have a browse, or go rummaging for that unusual
gift. The markets are back following the success of the Christmas
market.
Marina supports local charities
Local charity Sparkles and Surprises are opening a magical
children’s and adult’s jewellery store in Mermaid Walk.
The charity takes some of the county’s sickest children on
fantastic trips each year and you can support them simply by
visiting the store and buying some of the most fantastic jewellery
and affordable kits for children, including beautiful wooden
treasure chests and much, much more.
Is it too hot to handle?
New to the Mad Hatter Markets is the cult chilli festival Fiery
Foods UK which opens its first store at the Mad Hatter Markets in
Brighton Marina, its original home where the festival was launched
4 years ago. This Dragons Den of anything hot and spicy will
include many local made hot products that cannot be found in any
supermarket. Anyone who dares enter the store will be fired up by
the range of chilli based foods and drink, including exclusive
'naga' products, officially the hottest chilli in the world
measured at 1 million scoville units!
Faretrade return to the Marina
Lovethatstuff runs Brighton’s biggest Fair Trade Market;
