Each Friday in the school holidays we’ll be animating General Gordon Square in Woolwich with market stalls featuring gift and treats from local businesses, including hot food. There will be free activities for children and each week will have a different theme - our first Fun Friday – 4 June - is all about sport, ahead of Euro 2021 starting in June.
