Harvest Festival Celebration at Sunday Farmer's Market

Waltham Forest Farmers Market pumpkins 211020

It's a market with a difference on Sunday 25 October 2020 when Walthamstow Farmers' Market hosts a Harvest Festival celebration

The market has teamed up with St Luke’s in the High Street for secular readings and music at 12 noon to celebrate Harvest.

St Luke’s has a regular stall at this market and this week will be collecting food to donate to people in the local area.

Stallholders at the market have donated prizes to create a superb food hamper that will be raffled during the day to raise money for local causes.

This promises to be a market with a difference and, of course, there’ll be pumpkins to buy and carve too.
