Daytime, Saturday: Suburban Legends
During the day, Suburban Legends brings the market to life through performance and participation, with a hundred participants animating Romford Market and its surrounding streets. Residents are invited to take part, encountering stories of traders, local characters and the myths that shape the town – celebrating enterprise, humour and resilience, and revealing the epic within the everyday.

As night falls, the market is transformed through a large-scale light, projection and sound installation inspired by the iconic 1970s Liberty Shopping Centre fountain. Designed and directed by Romford born artist David Shearing, with text by Essex writer Vickie Donoghue, and original sound by James Bulley, Meet Me by the Fountain reimagines a shared piece of Romford’s history – turning the market into a powerful, collective experience.

Market Town is presented in partnership with Greenwich+Docklands International Festival.
