‘Italia in Piazza’ is set to return to Romford Town Centre on Sunday February 24 from 10am to 4pm.

Visitors can look forward to a number of mouth-watering stalls bringing all the wonderful tastes from Italy, such as parmigiano reggiano, prosciutto, salame, olives, extra virgin olive oils and much more.

You will also be treated to a host of Italian themed entertainment throughout the day including Italian craft activities and the chance to design a Venetian carnival mask, themed street performers, face-painting and balloon modelling for children, and the popular sing-along gondolier and his gondola.

Students from Havering College will also host an Italian quiz with a chance for one lucky person to win an Italian food hamper.

Cabinet Member for Community Empowerment, Councillor Robert Benham, said: “The Italian food market is always a welcome treat and I’m really excited about its return.

“The market offers a wide variety of great quality authentic food, the staff are really helpful, and the entertainment puts a smile on everyone’s face. It’s an extra special experience that you wouldn’t get anywhere else and definitely worth a visit.”
