THAR SHE BLOWS! The weather forecast is looking seriously windy for Sunday, so we have reluctantly taken the decision to cancel FEAST.
This is a decision never taken lightly, and we are very sorry to disappoint you all, but in high gusting winds, gazebos can be very dangerous, and the safety of the public, our traders and volunteers must come first.
However, many of our traders will be at events on Saturday or available to buy online – we’ll be sharing more details on our social media channels, so please do support them elsewhere if you can. We hope to see you again in December.

As the winter approaches, Feast is here to brighten your weekend. We are pleased to bring you the best street food, arts, crafts, vintage items and local produce that West Norwood has to offer. There are four Hubs for you to explore – Village Green, Food Fair, Fresh and Green and Artisans. Check out the handy map below for locations.Details of our social distancing measures and lots more information below so you can plan your visit. As always our dedicated Feast volunteers will be on hand to help you make the most of your visit. Feast will be as wonderful as ever but we ask you to observe social distancing. Stay safe and enjoy our community market.
Join us at Village Green to shop, eat, drink and play. Here you’ll find all things sustainable and community focused, on the green area outside West Norwood Leisure Centre. Shop for retro and handmade goods, beauty products, clothing and vintage curios. Alongside popular regular stalls brimming with handmade creativity and wares. This month we have gorgeous jewellery from Jayne Williams Designs and fun face masks from Bugs Togs among many other delights.
If you’re feeling hungry, you can fill up on Warren’s delicious jerk chicken.
CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY – Free clay modelling and firing
Due to Covid restrictions, we can’t have our usual play and creative activities, provided by Movers&Makers. We hope they’ll be back soon.
In the meantime, local ceramic artist Emma Fenelon has donated some lovely modelling clay which children take home to complete and return to Portico Gallery for firing ( more details when you collect your pack). We will have 60 packs available. Each pack will contain:
*free blobs of clay wrapped in recycled plastic bags (cut up) and upcycled fabric
*fabric wrap to be used as clay work station
*each wrap with clay has a wooden lolly stick, fork and pencil for clay tools
*top tips/ instructions visual to create a plaque provided with the clay
Pop along to the Village Green Hub to collect your clay and get creative!
Wonderful offerings of handmade and artisan goods, including:
Pipkin & Co with their contemporary small batch hand poured scented Danish inspired soy wax candles in colourful glassware. Eight scents including the very festive Glod and Fyr. Made in Peckham.
Charlotte Meddings with her black ink drawings of landscapes and botanical studies. Original artworks and printed stationery including Christmas cards.

Visit Food Fair to ward off the November chill with a warm grilled meat or veggie bun with an Argentinian twist at Sandwiche or a tasty Greek-style pita wrap at Souvlaki Street, and if you have children they’ll love a handmade cake pop from Bunting and Pops.
Please note, due to Government restrictions, sadly you cannot sit on the grass to eat but you can pop up to Village Green and relax on the grass with your tasty bites.
Our ever popular Fresh and Green Hub has an exciting mix of foodie treats and interesting things to purchase.
