Saturday 5th, Shrewsbury House Spring Fair, Shrewsbury House, Bushmoor Crescent, Shooters Hill, SE183EG, 12 -4pm

Sunday 6th, Makers Market, Severndroog Castle, Castle wood, Shooters Hill, SE18 3RT, 10-3pm. One of my favourite markets sited in quiet woodland. Combine with a beautiful walk, visit to the attractive tea rooms and the most amazing viewing platform, it's a whole day out. Hope for sunshine and dappled walks through the trees with abundant spring growth and birdsong.
Sunday 27th, Danson Park Producers Market. Danson House, Danson Park, Danson Road, Bexleyheath, DA68HL. 10-3pm. A new market for me in this exceptional location, the grade one listed house, beautiful gardens, a lake, a playground, a huge pub, what's not to like?!

Sunday 13th, Woodlands farm, Shooters Hill, lambing day. 11-4pm
Plumstead Community Market, St Marks Hall, Old Mill Lane, Plumstead. Shhh, keep it quiet but this is the best place for absolute bargain hand made cake, pickles and teas. It's from another world! Drop in for the tea and find original handmade prints, ceramics and hand mades. Outside John Rastall is selling some of his studio ceramic collection which is well worth a look too.
