I had NO IDEA that Acklam Village Market even existed, and I was only here for a gin festival, celebrating World Gin Day 2016, but my god, it isn't half lively! Located on the intersection of Portobello Road and Acklam Road, it fuses in with the famous Portobello Road Market. However Acklam Road market has a sign, welcoming people to it and also indicating that it is indeed, a separate entity.
There are mostly food stalls, ranging from food from Eastern Europe, to the middle East, to just a classic fish and chip stall. Literally, walking through will make your mouth water!! I instantly regretted eating before I came!
The actual gin festival was located on the right hand side, underneath the A40 in what can only be described as a warehouse type place. You can tell it is used as an events space. I liked it however I think there needed to be more seats.
I think that I would definitely come back here (when I'm not as tiddled) to soak in the atmosphere of both the Portobello Road market and Acklam Village market.
