Model Market – Launch Weekend | 196 Lewisham High Street | Friday & Saturday | 5pm-Midnight | FREE ENTRY

They Say: #ModelMarket is an abandoned 1950s indoor and outdoor market just off Lewisham High Street and we’ll be breathing new life, light and vibes into the space with everything you’d expect – fantastic street food, cracking drinks, great music and our usual wonderful crowd.

We Say: Ok, so we like food. And we live near Lewisham. So this was a shoe-in. See you on Friday, you better get there early, or we’ll have eaten EVERYTHING!
