Acting for Others has announced the return of its annual West End Flea Market on 16 May 2026 at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, marking the event’s sixth year and following a record fundraising total in 2025.

The West End Flea Market will take place on Saturday 16 May 2026, running from 10am to 2pm at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden. The event reunites leading West End productions, each presenting themed stalls stocked with theatrical memorabilia, signed items, and opportunities for selfies and autographs.

Following a record-breaking £110,000 raised in 2025, early bird tickets for the 2026 market will go on sale in April, with general admission priced at £5 available on the day. Each participating show curates its stall to reflect its production, offering limited-edition collectables alongside standard merchandise.

A highlight of the event, the Best Dressed Stall competition, will return and be judged by a panel of West End performers. The winning stall will be announced live during the market. Further details regarding judges, participants, and shows are expected to be revealed closer to the event.

In addition to the flea market, Acting for Others has confirmed the return of the Big West End Walk on Sunday 6 September 2026. This fundraising event features performers and supporters visiting 58 West End theatres across a 16-mile route through London in support of the charity’s work.

The organisation also announced the 2026 Golden Bucket Awards ceremony for Tuesday 21 April, which will celebrate supporters and fundraisers who have contributed through bucket collections and other initiatives over the year.

Together, these events form crucial components of Acting for Others’ ongoing efforts to support members of the theatrical community, highlighting the continued commitment and camaraderie within the West End sector.
