AN HISTORIC market will be holding a fundraising event in support of a children’s charity and a special needs school.

Live music, face painting, and a children’s jewellery making workshop will all be on offer at Greenwich Market’s event to raise money for Childline on August 30 from 11am.

Proceeds from the day will also go to Charlton School, in Charlton Park Road, Charlton.

An auction will also be held at the market’s Coach and Horses pub at 7pm.

A spokesman for Greenwich Market traders said: “As ever, the market will run in its full glory with the stalls and the food court.

“Come and join in the fun, raising funds and raising awareness.”
