Yes, we’re open. Since we reopened on Saturdays we have been very careful to maintain our queue spaces and hygiene levels. As an essential service we will continue to provide you with quality food, direct from farm and producer, plus a few extras to make you smile. We thank you for queuing nicely and watching your distancing.
It is with great sadness that the market has been informed that Mark Stott, from Croydon Beekeepers, has tragically passed away. Mark often traded his honey at the market, which he usually displayed in his bike, and he would be there alongside his long-term bee buddy, Kirsty Gordon. Mark was a passionate beekeeper and loved to pass his knowledge to others, often bringing educational hives to the market. He ran many bee-keeping courses (including some that Crystal Palace Transition Town members attended) and he also loved to save swarms, one of which helped to set up the beehive at St John’s. He will be sorely missed at the market and we send our condolences to Kirsty, his friends and family. Here is a link to the Croydon Beekeepers newsletter with a full article about Mark.
Antenna Cafe is now open again on Saturdays only for TAKEAWAYS. We’re excited to be able to get our favourite coffee again, but please note there will be no seating or toilets.
Thursday market news. NEW TIME 10-1pm Bread Bread, The Store Cupboard, and Hook Dairy (Hook will probably be there early), and from 11am you’ll also find Roots and Cycles, the Haynes Lane Collectors’ market and Alan’s Antiques.

Wine of the week
Natural wines – Wine Scouts Natural organic and biodynamic wines from around the world. Pedro says, “Hello! This Saturday we will taste a lovely, organic red wine from the Rhone Valley in France, the Cairanne Domaine du Chapoton. Aromas of ripe black berries and tropical fruits. On the palate, it is fresh and peppery with notes of dried sweet spices, liquorice and some bay leaf herbs. The finish is lingering and spicy. This excellent wine comes from old vines surrounding the the beautiful village of Cairanne and is a blend of Grenache and Syrah and is lightly oaked. Come taste!”
