Traders get in spirit of Halloween

Head to Romford Market this Friday for a ghostly experience while you snap up your bargains.

Romford Market traders will be dressing up in Halloween costumes to add even more fun to your shopping experience.

There will be plenty of goodies for any trick or treaters who visit you and some superb pumpkins to carve into ghoulish faces – don’t forget you can roast the flesh, make pumpkin mash or turn it into a delicious soup to enjoy.

Check out these Love Food, Hate Waste pumpkin recipes.

The market will be open from 9am until 4.30pm so don’t miss this special treat with no tricks at all.

Pop along and see his delicious range of honey, including local honey from Epping,  and honey-related products.


Mark it in the Market

Mark it in the Market

Have your bike security coded, by the Safer Transport team, free of charge on the first Saturday of each month.

The next session will be on Saturday 1 November, between 11.00am and 2.00pm at the South Street end of the market place between Lloyds Bank and the Cooperative Bank.

All residents have to do is turn up so their bike can be security marked and stickers attached to warn would be thieves that they should leave this cycle alone.

These free sessions in Romford Market on the first Saturday of each month are one of the ways that the council and police work together to keep crime levels low in our community.

Whatever the weather the cheerful banter and friendly welcome make it a pleasure to shop in the market and there’s good value on everything from eggs or fruit and veg to clothes and jewellery.
