West Norwood Feast returns Sunday 5 May 10am-4pm!
We are so excited to welcome everyone back for 2024. After having to cancel April’s Feast due to high winds, come join us at your favourite local market on Sunday. Our volunteers have been working hard over the last few months to secure Feast for the community. Show your support by joining us across two expanded Hubs.
Over 70 wonderful traders will be offering mouth-watering street food and cakes, fresh produce, handmade gifts, arts and crafts and vintage clothes and curiosities. Find out more about what you can expect below.
There will also be FREE live music outside St Luke’s Church and at Village Green, near the leisure centre.
Bring your kids up to Village Green for FREE children’s craft activities 11am-3pm.
p.s. Feast is volunteer-run and we need your help to keep it running. Find out more below about how you can support West Norwood Feast as a volunteer. Join us to support your community, meet new people, and have fun!
Two expanded hubs
St Luke’s Church and Gardens and Village Green (by the leisure centre)
This year we have made some changes to our Hub locations. This has been driven by increasing costs for street trading licences levied by Lambeth Council.
Join us at St Luke’s Church & Gardens for the Food Fair (hot food and drinks) and Fresh n Green (fresh produce) in the car park area.
Artisans’ Market (local designers and makers) is moving from Chatsworth Way to join Village Green on Devane Way (near the Leisure Centre) where you can also find sustainable goods, retro and beauty products.
Volunteers will be on hand to help direct you to our expanded hubs.
To help you get used to our new look locations, you can take part in a Feast treasure trail. Pick up an entry form from one of our volunteers at Food Fair and visit the new-look Feast sites. One lucky participant will win a special prize, provided by our generous traders.
VILLAGE GREEN
Join us at our expanded Village Green site starting at Devane Way, opposite West Norwood Station, and continuing up to West Norwood Leisure Centre. We’ll have live music from 12noon and kids’ craft activities to keep the little ones busy from 11am to 3pm.
We’re excited to welcome our favourite local Artisans, and their huge range of handmade and unique items:
- Pick up some beautiful watercolour illustrations of your favourite local spots from artist Ana Gallego.
