Give the Gift of Brixton: The Brixton Gift Card
This year, Brixton has launched something special: the Brixton Gift Card — your all-access pass to independent food, fashion, vinyl, homeware and culture across both markets.
It’s the easiest way to support local traders while giving someone a gift full of possibility. From dinner at your favourite restaurant to one-of-a-kind pieces from our shops, a Brixton Gift Card lets them explore the Village their way.
You can buy it at:

- The Black Farmer, 25–27 Market Row
Perfect for:
- last-minute gifts
- office presents
- stocking fillers

It’s the gift that champions community — and keeps it local.
