West End Flea Market to return in 2026

Theatrical charity Acting for Others has announced the return of its annual West End Flea Market, set to take place on Saturday 16 May 2026 at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden.

Running from 10am to 2pm, the event returns for its sixth year following a record-breaking total of £110,000 raised in 2025.

Early bird tickets will go on sale in April, while general admission tickets will also be available on the day, priced at £5 entry.

The market will once again bring together leading West End productions, each hosting individually designed stalls filled with theatrical memorabilia, signed items, and opportunities for selfies and autographs. Each stall is curated to reflect its respective show, featuring themed merchandise and limited-edition collectables.

The Best Dressed Stall competition will also return, judged by a panel of West End performers, with the winner announced live during the event. Further details about the judges, participating stars and shows are expected to be revealed at a later date.

The charity has also confirmed the return of the Big West End Walk, which will take place on Sunday 6 September. The fundraising event sees performers and supporters visit 58 West End theatres across a 16-mile route through London in support of the organisation’s work.

In addition, the 2026 Golden Bucket Awards will be held on Tuesday 21 April, celebrating supporters and fundraisers who have contributed through annual bucket collections and other initiatives across the year.
