New Market in Deptford!
We are curating a beautiful new independent weekly Saturday market in the heart of Deptford Market Yard!
We’ll be there every week from Saturday 25th January, selling beautiful flowers under the guise of our arty floral side-hustle, Where Have All The Flowers Gone?
We’re also inviting other fab, local traders to join us - the market should be a home to:
Home made/small batch food to take home
Recycled homewares, useful-meets-arty handmade goods & vintage/pre-loved fashions
Sustainable fancies, and fabulous finds
Arty books and crafty bargains
Local indie Deptford and Lewisham stallholders and goods.
We hope to see you all on Saturday 25th - and do get in touch for more info if you would like to join us with a stall at our exciting new market!
