Souq for Syria returns with a Christmas edition to fundraise for Levantine Relief Network, a grassroots Syrian charity that provides education and aid to displaced Syrians.

Souq for Syria will take you on a journey through a traditional Syrian market - where Middle Eastern arts, crafts, jewellery, toys and Syrian cuisine will be available.

Some of London's homegrown independent artists and designers are also setting up shop - to foment a rich cultural and festive exchange.

Souq for Syria will be headlined by a live performance from the phenomenal Syrian kanun player, Maya Youssef, winner of the Exceptional Talent Award and recent star of the BBC Proms at The Royal Albert Hall. Maya will be accompanied by two critically acclaimed musicians, cellist Barney Morse-Brown and percussionist Ant Romero.

The day will also feature children's activites designed by BAFTA-nominated actress and award winning storyteller, Alia al-Zougbi, and Layla Totah offers her interactive embroidery workshop for little ones.
