At the heart of every culture is its food — the flavours, the spices, the aromas that carry memories across oceans and generations. At the Garvey WINDRUSH Traorè Night Market, food is more than a meal — it’s a living archive of heritage, creativity, and connection.

🌿 A Taste of the Diaspora

From fragrant Caribbean curries to rich African stews, from jerk straight off the grill to sweet plantain fresh from the pan — each dish is a celebration of our ancestors’ journeys and the innovations of today’s chefs. Local vendors will bring their heritage to the table, blending tradition with fresh creativity to give you food that nourishes both body and soul.

👩🏾‍🍳 Local Chefs, Global Roots

Our night market shines a spotlight on local entrepreneurs and chefs who honour their cultural roots through food. Many will share not just plates but also stories — the significance of the dish, the family recipes, the cultural memory behind the flavours. It’s a chance to experience Black heritage through taste, conversation, and community.

🎶 More Than a Meal

As you wander the stalls, the air will be alive with drumming, laughter, and the scent of spices. Each bite becomes part of the atmosphere — a reminder that food has always been how we gather, celebrate, and keep culture alive. From savoury stews to tropical desserts, your taste buds will journey across continents in one unforgettable evening.

🌟 A Feast of Legacy and Unity

The Garvey WINDRUSH Traorè Night Market invites you to savour more than food — it invites you to savour heritage itself. Every flavour connects us back to our roots while creating new memories for generations to come.
