Save the date

Friday late night shopping at Greenwich Market kicks off with a very special Craft & Design Market on 11 May.

Friday late night shopping will be running in Greenwich Market weekly during summer starting from 11 May until the end of September. To celebrate Craft & Design month, the covered market will host the work of some of the most talented designer makers in London and the South. Visitors can view demonstrations by a subtlety of designers - wood turners, jewellers, knitters, quilters, print makers, felters and blacksmiths. Pop up room sets will showcase local designer made pieces for the home. Visitors to the market will also be invited to get crafty to help create giant tiaras which will be displayed as part of Glittering Greenwich Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June. 11am to 7.30pm

This exhibition has been patiently constructed and is presented with an enchanting panache. 6th April to 29th April. Thursdays–Sundays 11-6pm.
