Lewisham Food Market is back
The new iteration of the market will be operated by The Food Market Company - the same family-run team behind the successful Catford Food Market and the popular weekly Food & Farmers’ market at Beckenham Place Park.
The revival of this beloved market has been made possible through funding from the Council, which commissioned its return and awarded the tender to The Food Market Company based on their outstanding vision for its future.
Visitors can expect an incredible lineup of local food and drink traders with street food from around the globe as well as sweet treats, honey, chutneys and marinades. This dynamic set up is the perfect atmosphere for friends and families to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Councillor Ese Erheriene Cabinet Member for Business, Jobs and Skills said: "I’m delighted to welcome back Lewisham Food Market. Markets play a crucial role in boosting our local economy, bringing communities together, supporting independent businesses, and making Lewisham an exciting destination to visit.
“Our vision is to grow an ambitious and inclusive local economy, and this market relaunch is a fantastic example of that vision in action. Investing in local businesses, fostering entrepreneurship, and creating thriving public spaces is exactly how we ensure that growth benefits all of our residents.”
Charlotte and Will, the brother-sister duo behind The Food Market Company, have built a strong reputation of creating bustling, community-driven markets, filled with great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Now, they are excited to bring that same energy to Lewisham Food Market.
Charlotte, from The Food Company said: "Having both grown up in South London, with me living in Lewisham for seven years, we have first-hand experience of what makes this part of London so special. Lewisham has developed so much over the years, and we felt it was the right time to relaunch Lewisham Food Market. The foundations built in 2023 were fantastic, and now, we want to take it even further in this amazing borough that’s so close to our hearts.”
One of the key missions of The Food Market Company is to support local entrepreneurs and provide a platform for new businesses to thrive.
Will, from The Food Company Said: "We’re so lucky to operate markets in South London, where diverse cultures shape every corner of our communities. Markets bring people together. They create jobs, support small businesses, and enhance the sense of community. We’re especially proud to have helped so many grassroots traders grow with us, with some even going on to open brick-and-mortar businesses.”
Lewisham Food Market launches on Sunday 6 April from 10am – 3pm and will take place on the first Sunday of each month thereafter. It is free to attend and dog-friendly.
