The Big Markit is one of the oldest markets in Sierra Leone, dating from the 18th century. Today visitors will find an incredible array of arts and crafts for sale, from wooden carvings, drums and jewellery to paintings and woven craft such as Sierra Leone’s celebrated shukublai, a basket traditionally made by the Temne in which possessions are kept safe. Located in the heart of Freetown, this vibrant marketplace showcases the vibrant colours, sounds, and flavours of Sierra Leone. The market is an ideal place to find unique souvenirs.
