South London Christmas Markets!

Recommended Posts

With less than 50 shopping days to Christmas, South London based SoLo Craft Fair could be the answer to all your shopping needs.


From art to jewellery, fashion to homeware, SoLo?s five South London events will showcase over 70 London crafters, offering beautiful and unique locally made gifts and Christmas shopping experience to beat out the highstreet.


Thought up by founders Catherine Dunne (London Lily) and Rebecca Hunter (Drawn Together Art) over a Christmas drink in 2015, the new South London ?Craft Festival? may only be a year old but it is already taking South London by storm, having hosted eight markets and represented over 150 creative traders.


It all started with a simple idea: To create a market with a difference.


"We wanted an event which showcased all elements of creativity, an event which really has something for everyone no matter your age or interests? said Rebecca Hunter.


?Our emphasis is on the customer experience, rather just just an opportunity to shop - guests have left our events having tried something new - like laughter yoga, or having been introduced to a new band or musician? Catherine Dunne adds.


Events have included collaborations with CatfordFest, Clapham Village Fete and Forest Hill Fashion Week. Each market is tailored to the venues and surroundings.


Over the year SoLo Craft Fair has showcased creative traders, whom demonstrate the height of local creativity while also playing host to musical performances, swing dance lessons, laughter yoga and poetry writing all take place within their events, coining the term 'Craft Festival'.


The festive season will be no different. With five events planned across South London pubs, shoppers will be able to meet all their Christmas needs, and take part in workshops such as a free ?stitch and b*tch? session, an ?unlucky portrait dip? with The London Drawing Group and a 'make your own terrarium session' with Make Good.


And with a Christmas wrapping station, a kids zone to keep the young ones occupied and drinks and food available at all venues, SoLo Craft Fair aims to make your Christmas shopping both easy and fun.

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
