West End Flea Market breaks fundraising record with £134,000 raised in 2026
The West End Flea Market, organised by Acting for Others, has raised over £134,000 in its most successful year yet. The event brought together stars and shows from across the West End in a popular theatrical fundraiser.
The 2026 West End Flea Market was held on Saturday 25 June at St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden. Now in its sixth year, the event attracted hundreds of theatre fans and featured bespoke stalls, merchandise, poster signings, and selfie opportunities with prominent West End performers.
The fundraising total of more than £134,000 marks a record for the charity event, which benefits Acting for Others – a performance charity supporting people working in the theatre industry. Billy Differ, co-chair and trustee of Acting for Others, described the event as “joyful” and praised the contribution of West End shows and stars.
Highlighting the community spirit of the market, Les Misérables won the annual Best Dressed Stall award, judged by Tom Read Wilson and Harriet Thorpe. The event also featured appearances from Su Pollard and other notable theatre figures.
The West End Flea Market has become a staple in the theatre calendar, combining fan engagement with charitable fundraising. The gathering of multiple shows under one roof continues to celebrate and support the wider theatrical community.
Details of the line-up and further highlights from previous years are available, offering a flavour of the event’s vibrant atmosphere. The success of this year’s market demonstrates a strong commitment within the industry to support those in need through creative fundraising initiatives.
