Open Art Market is an open-air art market on Portobello Road in Notting Hill, run by Open Art Spaces at Tavistock Piazza. It gathers up to around 28 emerging artists and makers who sell original artwork, prints and creative pieces directly from their stalls, with most items kept at accessible price points. The market started here on Portobello Road and now sets up on selected Saturdays through the year, blending the buzz of the wider Portobello street market with a friendly, community-minded space built around supporting independent creatives.

Opening times

Open Art Market runs from 10:00 to 17:00 on selected Saturdays rather than every weekend, so it is worth checking the Open Art Spaces website for the next confirmed date before you travel. Recent listings have included dates such as late June, early July, August and September. The stalls are outdoors, so the market goes ahead in most weather but is best enjoyed on a dry day.

What's on the stalls

Expect up to around 28 stalls of original paintings, prints, illustrations, greeting cards and other handmade creative pieces from emerging artists across a range of styles. The focus is on accessible, affordable work, with many pieces kept at lower price points so you can take home an original without a gallery budget. Alongside the art you will often find free creative activities and live pop-up music running through the day.

Around the market / getting there

The market sits at Tavistock Piazza on Portobello Road, W11, in the heart of Notting Hill in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. It is a short walk from Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill Gate Underground stations, and sits within the wider Portobello Road market area packed with antiques, vintage and street food. Combine a visit with a wander down Portobello Road and the surrounding Westbourne Grove shops and cafes.
