2025
JULY
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 growth and birdsong.
Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th, Arts Trust Greenwich Park event, 11-8pm
2026
SAVE THE DATE: Next year’s Thames-side Open Studios weekend will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2026, 11am-5pm early heads up on the dates for this very popular opportunity to engage with nearly 600 designer makers in their own studios space. Free workshops, sales and street food.
Other markets I sometimes attend:
Royal Arsenal Riverside Farmers Market, 10-4pm, Artillery Square, Woolwich, SE186ST. Street food, produce and small businesses selling hand makes in the heart of historic Woolwich. Come on the bus or Elizabeth line and combine with a visit to House Of Denna, Woolwich Works, PunchDrunk or Tram Shed, loads to see and do here and now with the later finish time at 4, come for an early cocktail.
Plumstead Community Market, St Marks Hall, Old Mill Lane, Plumstead. The most lovely community makers market and **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 and opposite the common opens out in front of you. A lovely spot and a very dear market.
The Old Exchange, Old Library, Walnut Tree Road, Erith, DA81RA
Craft Market at a superb arts centre. Expect high end makers in the most inspirational centre of this beautiful environment. There is a cafe, gardens, and you can explore and understand their connection to the William Morris Arts & Crafts movement and manifesto. An incredibly special place restored by world class designers and arts community.
