Oval Farmers’ Market Celebrates Permanent Residency

This Saturday Oval Farmers’ Market celebrated the granting of permanent planning permission after previously only having temporary permission.

To mark the event the Mayor of Lambeth, Mayor Valcarcel, was in attendance and met traders and the market’s organisers. The weather was pleasant and the atmosphere was friendly as customers enjoyed doing their shopping, meeting the Mayor and learning about the history of and future plans for Oval Farmers’ Market.

Located on the grounds of St Marks church (opposite Oval tube station) and open every Saturday from 10:00 until 15:00 (come rain or shine!), the market has over 20 stalls selling fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, confectionery and dairy all sourced from the local area.

The market was helped into existence by a local community group, The Oval Partnership (www.ovalpartnership.org.uk) and is run by City and Country Farmer’s Markets (www.weareccfm.com).

Rob Hicks, Treasurer of the Oval Partnership said “the farmer’s market attracts a really eclectic crowd every Saturday - great quality local food and drink is really important to the people of Oval. The farmer’s market is now an important part of our community, I’m glad this has been reflected in the granting of permanent planning permission.”




(me chatting to rob about the plans)

The farmer’s market is part of a wider public realm strategy that will transform the area where it is held. The Oval Partnership is currently raising money to undertake a historical impact assessment of the area before undertaking further fundraising to finance the transformation.
