Seems it be held on Saturday 18th May 2024.
Organised by theatrical charity Acting for Others, the West End Flea Market 2024 will take place on Saturday 18 May from 10am to 2pm at the Actors’ Church – St Paul’s Church and Churchyard, Covent Garden.
Last year proved a big success for the charity, raising more than £70,000 for the event, which is now in its fourth year.
150 early bird tickets to get entry to both the Flea and a prize draw are going to be available for £15.
At the Flea, West End shows set up stalls offering theatrical memorabilia, signed items, and the chance for selfies and autographs.
Also back for this year will be the autograph marquee inside the church, which costs £10 to enter and includes a free West End Flea Market 2024 poster!
Last year’s West End Flea Market saw Best Dressed Stall judges include Michael Ball, Christopher Biggins and Arlene Phillips. Shows attending or donating included Back to the Future, Disney on Stage, the Menier Chocolate Factory, Hamilton, Jersey Boys, Les Misérables, Mamma Mia!, Moulin Rouge The Musical, The Phantom of The Opera, The Rocky Horror Show, SIX the Musical, The Book of Mormon, The Mousetrap, and The Play That Goes Wrong.

I always find it best to turn up with a plan.
If you're after specific memorabilia, then hit that stall first, then go back and browse.
If you're after posters, I would also recommend that you turn with with a cardboard postal tube.

I wish they would announce the date a longer while ahead, I keep missing it because I have to plan my London trips a few months ahead. I'm already booked for the Broadway Flea Market in September, because THEY announce the date a long time ahead.

I’m think of going, so for any folk who have been previously, what sort of time is it best to get there if doors open at 10am? Are we talking crazy queues for this? Thanks for any info.

A large, long queue- however not as long as West End Live. Be prepared for a lot of tourist and others asking "What's gong on?" and "What's the queue/What are you queueing for?" Be prepared also for several well built guys- some with back hair- dragged up as Madme. Twinky. Also a lot of stagey youth; alas some are pretentious!

I would like for someone to buy me something if it's available and not too expensive. I could paypal the money on the spot while you're there, so you can be sure you will be reimbursed. If you're sure to go david or if you have the time anthony40, PM me (but if not, that's fine too)

And if you can't, our david, you can always do a turn in the Piazza. I bit of dancing will make a nice change from the usual unicycling jugglers and fire eaters.

Just sorting out the outfit tonight. It will keep the folk queuing entertained. It’s either that or a sing along of MT songs. TallPaul.
