MULTICULTURAL MARKET

Join us for a Multicultural Sunday at the Market for Doors Open London Weekend! Immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures as you explore the multicultural market, buzzing with energy on Rotary Square on September 22nd from 11am to 4pm!


Doors Open London is an event presented by the London Heritage Council. During the event weekend which usually happens each September, the public is treated a chance to explore the many museums, heritage sites, and organizations around the city FREE of charge. Londoners, Newcomers, and visitors alike are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about the city from this unique perspective.

The 23rd annual Doors Open London (DOL) weekend will take place in September 21 & 22, 2024. This year’s theme is Live. Work. Play: In the Forest City. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how the participation sites, organisations, and businesses have changed and impacted the evolution of our city and by extension, Londoners. Places of worship will highlight how the community have embraced their faith throughout the years. Businesses and places of work will showcase how work culture, demographics, and the impact of the economy have shaped the organizations and helped their respective sectors advance over the years. Cultural organizations will illuminate how Londoners have, over the years, embraced the arts not only as a means of entertainment, but also as a means of pursuing interests and passions.
