Mustard Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Dear Pexmas,Why do you charge entrance to your events? It seems wrong to charge to have to enter an event where there are already lots of stallholders who have paid you to set up their businesses. I am especially referring to the one you have in the gardens in the summertime. That's like charging to enter Goose Green to go to the Goose Green Fair.

egoode Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Where have you seen they are charging to enter this event? The press release on their website said it is free entry.

Mustard Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was charged to go to two of your events, one in the gardens, not this summer, but last summer and one in the building in/near Nutbrook Street, the one that had Burger Bear outside.

PEXMAS Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yes we did charge in our first year - partly in support of partner charities and partly to help fund the whole event which is extraordinarily expensive. We didn't want to charge folks, was simply the only way for the event to exist, and so as soon as we had grown enough to build up some funding and make the event free we did! Haven't charged for our public events in over a year and don't plan to again!

Saw a lot of the same from other people... poor stallholders. I can survive without a Peckham tea towel after all.

I could have that wrong. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49142-the-nunhead-bite/#findComment-782109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEXMAS Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Yes the Christmas event entry fee was for a donation to the Kids Company. We've also made donations from the entry fee to Pecan, Peckham's Food Bank at past events. Munch - The Peckham Festival was free entry, as is The Nunhead Bite. It would be lovely to see you there for fun and frolics.

ED Fun Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Let's just support public local festivals in every way possible - stand holders, organisers, businesses and the local community. I hope it's going to be a brilliant weekend for Nunhead Bite!

t&d Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Really enjoyed the festival today- but who were the vegan cakes by? Cosmic Cakes or something, but I can't find them online. Thanks!

aquarius moon Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Their name was probably in the programme but mislaid mine somewhere.Agree it was a good festival.Best food had to be the curly chips on a stick? Longest queue of all but well worth the wait. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49142-the-nunhead-bite/#findComment-787372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Do you have contact details for the bakery that was selling next to the knife stand? They were at the very end of that row.

PEXMAS Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi MustardOn the Sunday you mean? That was Patisserie Ecossaise - gorgeous stall. https://www.wearepopup.com/b/04be998/He doesn't yet have a website and we've just got a personal phone number for him, but if you send us a private message with your email I will forward to him for you if you like?

Mustard Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes, that is the stall, bought some really nice chewy, seedy and grainy bread from him. Makes wonderful toast.
