Greenwich Market is set to participate in the UK-wide 'Love Your Local Market' initiative from 15 to 31 May, celebrating the essential role of markets in communities. The event will feature a variety of live music performances and family-friendly activities, including a magic show and face painting, to engage visitors of all ages.
The festivities will kick off on 15 May with performances by Mycenae Crew, offering jazz, soul, funk, blues, and Latin music. Throughout the fortnight, visitors can enjoy acts such as The Rock Project from Isle of Dogs, The Mooches Band, and Rosie Webb with the Soho Jazz Knights. A special installation, a large shopping bag adorned with flowers, will provide a perfect photo opportunity for attendees to capture their 'Love Greenwich Market' moments.
Greenwich Market, a staple in the community since 1737, invites visitors to explore its unique stalls and shops. Local entrepreneurs offer a diverse range of products, from handcrafted jewellery to vintage goods and home décor. The market also promises a culinary delight with snacks, meals, and desserts available from various food stalls and nearby Cutty Sark Street Food Market.
The event promises to be a memorable experience for families, set in the heart of the UNESCO Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. With a vibrant programme of music and activities, the market aims to foster community spirit and celebrate its rich history
