400th Anniversary of Enfield Market Royal Charter

2018 represents the 400 year of the issuing of a Royal Charter by King James 1st to run a market in Enfield Town.

Enfield Market is managed by the Old Enfield Charitable Trust. The income received from the market is awarded to the residents living in The Old Parish of Enfield in the form of personal, education and community grants.

The Trust have developed a series of ideas to help commemorate and celebrate this historical event by proposing events in and around the marketplace.

Among their plans is the return of the hugely successful Market Beach in July, Open House London at the Old Vestry Office September 22-23, and various musical and artistic events throughout the year.

The centre-piece will be a Charter Fayre held on Sunday May 20th in association with Enfield Town Residents Association which aside from featuring a varied ensemble of musical artists performing on the bandstand, will also encompass craft stalls, art trail and photographic exhibition, poetry recitals from local creative talents, well being street and a children’s grass area in the grounds of St Andrews Church featuring pony rides, face painting, story telling and the like. A varied selection of food and drink will be available throughout the day.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all throughout 2018 at Enfield Town Market.
