Title: Now I am getting wobbly knees... Post by: madpiano on November 14, 2010, 05:09:54 PM I was invited to a London Street market a while ago. Venn Street Market in Clapham, London. It's my first time to do a proper Farmer's Market and my first time doing a 2-day event. I assumed it is more like one of the smaller street markets in London, but I have just found some info online and I think this may be rather large...
At the bottom is a pic from someone's blog and here is some more info: http://clapham.london.myvillage.com/article/venn-street-market (http://clapham.london.myvillage.com/article/venn-street-market) Do I need to take loads of stuff? Stalls will be provided, parking is free in the area. How warm do I have to dress? If everything goes well, I would like to become a regular at this market, but due to shift work, I cannot make it every time. Would anyone in London be interested to share with me? Kind of like there will be a soap stall at this spot every month, but alternate soap sellers? As longs as they keep it monthly, I would only need one other person to share with (alternate months), but they are thinking about going weekly, which would mean I would need possibly more than one person, or maybe not, depending on other people's commitment. My shift rota means I work 4 weekends in a row, then have 4 weekends off, but some are split (I work one day). Title: Re: Now I am getting wobbly knees...

You might have noticed from my other posts I'm not keen in doing fairs and markets - especially at this time of the year, it's so cold!... I'll be doing one only in DEC, giving it a chance, but not sure I want to do something like this on a more regular basis and have the commitment. Also, Clapham is not the easiest for me to get to (I'm in Chiswick). Good luck though, I think you should definitely go for it! Title: Re: Now I am getting wobbly knees...

You seem such a professional...I would be interested as it is easy for me to get to, but I have only done a few stalls and products are along the lines of herbal products not cosmetic...pm me and we could discuss this further. :buttrf: Title: Re: Now I am getting wobbly knees...
