Friday 28 August and Saturday 29 August 2026 Romford Market

Meet Me By The Fountain

A lost landmark returns to the heart of Romford — a meeting point between past, present and future.

As night falls, one of London’s largest and oldest markets comes to life. Light, projection and sound ripple across the space, reawakening the spirit of the iconic Liberty fountain and the stories it holds. Created by David Shearing, with text by Vickie Donoghue, sound by James Bulley and video projection by Novak, Meet Me by the Fountain brings echoes of memories together in a spectacular experience.

Meet Me by the Fountain weaves together voices and images of the market’s 779 year history: from its origins, to the medieval, from wartime to the 80’s, from today and into an imagined future…

Produced by Havering London in partnership with GDIF and supported by Arts Council England, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Havering Council, Romford BID and Historic England.
