Woodside Magical Market on Saturday 1st December from 11-4pm.

Contact direct : From the Assistant Headteacher at Woodside Primary Academy. In collaboration with Wood Street First, we are holding a community event called Woodside Magical Market on Saturday 1st December from 11-4pm. This community event was launched last year and was incredibly well attended. We had 20 custom built wooden stalls made by a local carpenter and local designers, small businesses and members of the community came, exhibited and sold their wonderful goods. We had a vast range of excellent quality goods sold outside and table tops inside as well. All in all there were over 30 stalls as well as live music, food, a circus, amusements, rides and more. We have just a few stalls remaining for this year's event and if you would like to be part of it, stalls are available from £10. Its best to contact me via email:

This is strictly a drop off zone so please arrange in advance for any help if you think you need it with unloading so your vehicle can move swiftly on. I will have one helper for cars and one in the marquee who will be between the two. If you do bring someone just to offload that would be great. They do NOT need an eventbrite registration if they are just dropping off (eg taxi driver etc) <br>

Please refer to links in members downloads about insurance etc. or email me, I am covered for the event. <br>

http://www.e17designers.co.uk/index.php?page=33&name=Members%20Downloads

Security<br>

There will be a security presence both during the day and overnight. Due to the volume of people and activity, please assume responsibility for your own belongings. You will have exchanged your wristband during the setup, these may be checked prior to public opening time. <br>

Toilets<br>

Your nearest toilet facilities will be portaloos beside the William Morris Gallery, there is also a quiet toilet at the top of the Gallery in the education rooms (shhhhhh) <br>

First Aid <br>

There will be First Aid trained members of staff on site. If you have a medical emergency then please find someone with a radio who will be able to call for help. <br>

Pack Down & Storage<br>

The doors are locked so ring the doorbell. Any items left must be collected the following morning between  9 - 10am. Although every care will be made to keep this area secure, belongings are left at your own risk. <br>

No vehicles are allowed back on site until the event is closed and the park is clear of public. Before this time, you may park in the vicinity of the park (see parking details above) and carry items between the marquee and your vehicle. If you have a trolley this would be useful. Please be subtle in doing so, and aware that neighbouring roads will be busy.  Once you have finished packing away and have left your area tidy, you are then free to leave or stay and enjoy the event! <br>

P.o.P!-People of Purpose Space to hire/share in Georgian Village, Wood Street, E17

PLEASE CONTACT THEM DIRECT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED/HIRING THE SPACE:

Popeastlondon@gmail.com

P.o.P!-People of Purpose

P.o.P! was born out of looking for somewhere to be purposeful and to make that space available to others trying out a project .

After looking at the not so affordable/inconvenient studio spaces , we found the Georgian village shops to be available& priced so you could risk trying a project.  Since October it has been running as a shop, selling workshops and making creations. It’s also used as quiet study.

We look to invite: People to sell through here &

 more members, on the lease it is named a shop but we are encouraged that as long as we are seen to be selling and have the doors open Tues-Sat 10-5

Thursday and Friday can stay open til 8pm if you had an after work audience/need to stay late .

So far the model has been split everything (rent/work)and prefer it that way ,a collective mentality. There’s a manager of the buildings but not this shop. We have to meet occasionally, but we have an email group for things like sharing the new toilet code info etc.

We’re looking for day members but it can be split between 2 of you doing half days.

So the costs and benefits:

£75 a month for a day a week

That covers :

day rent , leccy,water ,wifi, toilet cleaned and toilet roll. We got public liability so any workshop participants are legally looked after, you may want to read the small print to see if your activity requires anything further.

You can use this day to charge for your own activities.

What’s in the space to use :

oil heater , window space, hanging space and shelf space, of course we’d all make it fair so that you are represented . How the space develops is a collective experience so suggestions welcome on how we use it.

Bluetooth speaker, Also a kettle some lamps,tea cups and supplies. Bring your own taste in things, it’s meant as a base.

We have 9 chairs. 

·      11 can be seated with a desk space each against the wall. That’s comfortable but with the option to add more in the centre.

·      Fold down all tables to have a full open space.

·      There are 2 desk size tables stored underneath which  make either 2 separate tables or one large table in the centre.

Tables ,when folded down, have been designed to have a lip for tea cups to sit,so if you’re standing you have somewhere to put your drink!

Plenty of plug points.

Floor is made durable and waterproof,ready for action.

Large sink ,cold running water.

Some storage,not huge but x8 separates.

If it is for running groups, advertising and finding your people would be key rather than hoping for a drop in.

Popeastlondon@gmail is the contact and the Instagram&facebook . 

Monday 7th May – The Lloyd Park May Fair:

Monday 7th May – The Lloyd Park May Fair: Usher in Spring proper at the May Fair. Friends of Lloyd Park will also host the ever-popular dog show. More details will be available soon. If you’d like to help on the day, or have a stall, you will need your own table (and gazebo).

I believe they're £30 this year,  please email the organisers direct for more info:

General info for bookings for Spring/Summer UPDATE!

Yes, I managed at the last minute to get a May booking at the Hub on Orford Road: have managed to partner with the E17 Village Market: we can only fit a few tables indoors, they have street food etc outside and eating tables inside, so not as big as our usual market . Let's do it!

Updated as below, everything else remains the same:
