Plumstead Community Market
Many of you will be aware of and visited the Plumstead Community Market that was started four years ago by Jess Currie and has been run by her ever since in St. Mark’s Hall by Plumstead Common. Earlier this year Jess asked us if we would be prepared to take over the running of the Market, due to her being unable to give it the time that it deserved, and we have agreed.
Jess held her last Market at the beginning of September during Plumstravaganza and we have now taken over the reins and will be holding the next Market on Saturday 15th October. The Market is open to the public from 11am until 3pm and entry is free, so why not come along to the Hall on Old Mill Road SE18 1QG and see what local traders have to offer.
Besides the regular artists and craftspeople we have managed to attract a number of new stallholders, resulting in the hall being fully booked, and we even have The Very Green Grocer trading outside the hall selling his fruit, vegetables, bread and other foodstuffs.
Further dates booked for this year are Saturday 12th November and Saturday 10th December.
