Brockley Market's 5th Birthday, September 24th
The market is a genuine local institution, which was created because local photographer Toby Allen thought Lewisham College's car park was a wasted asset at weekends. A doubtful Council gave it their blessing and residents thronged from day one, thanks to a carefully balanced mix of street food and produce and an atmosphere that encourages both community and explorers. Today, the market has over 40 food stalls.
The weekend's celebrations will include 5th birthday cake and treats from Kooky Bakes, live music from Balkan folk collective Benny and ‘The Cheese Grinder’, plus the first lucky 50 will get a goody bag.
