LEYTONSTONE’S CHRISTMAS MARKET TRAIL

 “SIMPLY ART AND CRAFTS”

LEYTONSTONE’S CHRISTMAS MARKET TRAIL

(Lister Road)

LEYTONSTONE’S CHRISTMAS MARKET TRAIL

¯  This market is supported by the London Borough of Waltham Forest, Stone’s Throw Market, the local business community, Church Lane Market, Leytonstone Designers and the High Road Leytonstone Methodist Church.

¯  It is part of a community strategy to draw people into Leytonstone on the first Saturday of December.

¯  The Christmas Market Trail has a key role in this strategy.  We hope to present a high quality Christmas Market incorporating ‘Stones Throw Market’ located at St John’s and additional stalls at Lister Hall, Leytonstone Methodist Church, Leytonstone Designers in the Leytonstone library, all offering a wide range of Art and Craft Stalls with goods for sale.

¯  All the space at St John’s will be taken up by ‘Stone’s Throw Market’ therefore unless you are already part of that market, you will be applying for one of the Art & Craft stalls available in the Lister Hall of High Road Methodist Church.

¯  The Market will be open to the public from 11am – 4pm and stall holders need to undertake to be there for that period.

¯  The charge for having a stall is £15.00 each, and all of this sum will go towards the rent for use of the halls and should be paid in advance to secure your place.  Cheques for Lister Road should be made to Leytonstone Methodist Church.

¯  Stall holders will be expected to take out their own insurance for this event.

¯  Stalls can be set up from 10:00am on Saturday 2nd December, and must be cleared away by 5pm on Saturday 2nd December.

¯  Applications for an Art & Craft stall at this Christmas Market must be made to the Ms. Avonelle Howe, Leytonstone Methodist Church, Corner of Leytonstone High Rd & Lister Road, Leytonstone E11 3DS, by email or post using the application form on the next page, by 30^th October 2017.

Dates for remainder of 2017: booking opens Monday 3RD JULY

The usual constraints (even though I start booking in February!) means:

No September event as it clashes with many other WF festivals (High Tide theatre, Leytonstone Car Free day, Cultivate etc etc) and I am sure it's not a great time for sales.

No Barbican event in October.

Autumn and two pre Christmas dates in November as last year, including an evening.

WFCHub: it has a panto on Sunday 3rd December (our usual date) so we have to do the 10th otherwise we would have no xmas market in the Village at all..

Mirth: we can only do one at Christmas. December 16th, same weekend as last year. I was very grateful for all the feedback from the last event there. I managed to negotiate that we will be able to spread out in the venue (a little...)  and we will be part of a Christmas event, including panto etc. the manager is very positive about that  :)

I will programme all the booking forms ONLINE -so you can book from Monday 3rd July. Please book by signing in and selecting spaces via the drop down menus. I will send instructions when I set up the links to include table sizes and prices (Do not email me to make a booking as emails can get lost or overlooked!)
