Deptford Flower Show (part of Deptford X Fringe) will be Deptford’s cheeky answer to Chelsea with mini installations, flowers and colour all along the grade 2 listed Carriage Ramp. Deptford Flower Market is an inclusive celebration of everyday joy, colour and flowers. The Saturday market has created a friendly, inclusive community and platform for creative makers and responsible buyers based off London’s best high street in Deptford. Every Saturday from 9am-4pm, a diverse and ever-changing range of stalls sells an eclectic mix of everything from flowers to LGBTQIA+ books. The market is run by 15 year life partners, London writers (todolist.london), and Lewisham-based florists Ru & Stu with their sustainable flower works being showcased on an original 1960s milk float. They hope to provide a space for LGBTQIA+, local and underrepresented people to showcase their wares in a safe space.
