- FEAST 1st Sunday of the month, 10am–4pm
Eat, drink, shop – and come to watch twenty talented young people perform all afternoon on Feast’s ‘Main Stage’ (AKA steps of St Luke’s) as part of Junior Open Mic (JOM) @ Feast!
Feast volunteers and the Norwood Forum team will be helping children create window stencils for their homes to take part in Window Wanderland in Wild Norwood!
At Family Hub the kids have a packed programme of fun activities! Kids can unleash their creative side by making their own rockets, painting firework displays and you’ll find face painting there too.
Bookmark Reading is an initiative to help children learn to read. Started in Camden last year, the reading programmes have rolled out to the rest of the city. Come along to their community stall to find out more about the scheme locally, and how you can become a volunteer.
Look out for the Green Stalls @ Family Hub near the Leisure Centre. You can spot them because they have green canopies!
Since April the stalls have been hosting groups that promote ways to live sustainably (which is the real reason they are known as green stalls!). Feast are subsidising the stalls as a community initiative and a dedicated group of volunteers are supporting their development.
Groups we’ve hosted so far include: Plastic Free West Norwood, Groundwork London, Norwood Planning Assembly, Lambeth Community Solar, Lambeth Friends of the Earth, The Library of Things …
All your favourite designers and makers will be at Artisans this month – be sure to pick up a bag of popcorn from Drum & Kernel as you browse!
Now the nights are drawing in, light up your home with a beautiful candle from Pipkin & Co (pictured), and find other Christmas ideas, from Sewcial Circle‘s bunting to Julia McKenzie’s screen prints.
Fill your fridge with delectable deli-worthy foods from the Fresh ‘n’ Green hub, parked just outside the West Norwood Library & Picturehouse.
Feast favourites Fish Tale will be pitching up with their sustainable fish (don’t forget their delicious fish cakes, olives and harissa paste), and we welcome back MyReusables who will be selling bamboo cutlery – a must for reducing waste at future Feast markets!
As ever you’ll be spoilt for choice for lunch at the Food Fair, with Sandwiche selling their infamous steak sandwiches.
In need of a sweet fix? Satisfy your sweet tooth with a little help from Brett & Bailey, Bunting & Pops, The Tartelettes and Sweet Carolina.
Don’t forget that some stalls will be offering a discount if you take your own tupperware along.
Drink up! Hoop & Joy will be back (pictured), serving up delicious, non-alcoholic, low-sugar drinks but if beer is more your thing, Second Wave Brewing will be selling bottles of the stuff.
House of Funky Junk also make a return, selling a mixture of vintage clothes and unique, upcycled interiors.
This month the folk at Retro Village can be found in the Family Hub so take a trip towards the leisure centre to explore what vintage treats they have to offer!
Even though they won’t be in their usual location, your favourite retro traders will be at Feast selling their vintage clothes, furniture and more. Trinkets and Baubles (pictured) will be there with their usual treasure trove all things vintage, as will the ‘always in fashion’ clothing of EvelynJean Vintage. Clare’s Collection will be selling her vintage wares whilst raising money for good causes, and you’ll see the return of Revival with Art4Space who went down a storm at October’s Feast.
Refill, the organisation that helped put the water fountain outside the West Norwood Library & Picturehouse, gets its official opening ceremony this Sunday at 12:30pm. Bring your reusable bottle and get your H2O fix! Those behind the initiative will be there to share more about the scheme, along with Plastic Free West Norwood and Veolia, who will be promoting their latest recycling options.
Mambista turns 5 this month and to celebrate, the African Jazz Quartet return for another stonking set to raise the Portico Gallery roof. The party starts from 8pm with DJ Gerry Lyseight on the decks too. More info here.
