Rough Trade (Every Saturday)

Rough Trade Shops bring their legendary store to The Social. Every Saturday in December you will find a boutique selection of perfect stocking fillers from the carefully selected vendors taking part in the upstairs bar Christmas Market. All are invited to pop in and browse through the vinyl, cds and Christmas gifts on sale whilst sipping on some mulled wine and nibbling on a mince pie. Rough Trade will be joined by some friends playing records upstairs on Saturday 18th including The Boy Least Likely To playing their favourite Christmas records.

Mr Jones Watches design and produce exceptional watches that do more than divide the day into hours, minutes and seconds. They are a London based company whose primary aim is to reconsider the age-old technology of the wristwatch for the 21st century.

Our most popular watch reminds you of your own mortality whenever you check the time. The Mr Jones Watches brand is defined by the innovative and exciting designs that experiment with the idea of time keeping. The range thinks of watches as portable artworks as well as practical devices.
