Take advantage of the cooler weather and indulge in some local retail therapy, as Market Street hosts two outdoor events in its shaded courtyard. The Diwali Shopping Day on October 4 will have plenty to get you festive-ready, with wares from over 100 local artists, designers, crafters and small businesses and even a chaat station. The retail spree continues on October 25 with Autumn Shopping, with another pop-up market, bringing in additional vendors. The markets will have everything from jewellery, abayas and handmade lampshades to artwork, skincare products and more.

Located in Umm Al Hassam, Market Street is a hub for creativity, providing a permanent space for local crafters and designers to showcase their work. With ample free parking, a coffee shop on-site and a focus on community, there’s no better way to shop local and get in some early festive shopping. Both events run from 10am to 8pm. ✤
