Residents can make a start on some early Christmas shopping.

Havering Museum in High Street, Romford will be holding a free Christmas market on Sunday December 2 from 10am to 4pm.

This is a great opportunity to buy unique Christmas presents from local businesses and explore the museum. Youngsters can also have fun getting their faces painted, joining the story telling sessions and getting involved in decorating and eating biscuits.
