herne hill market

It’s Winter Fair and Christmas Bazaar time in the Herne Hill area! Last weekend St Phillip and St James (just off Poplar Walk at Lowden) had their annual Christmas Fair - yet again well attended with lots on.  https://ssphilipandjameshernehill.wordpress.com/

Brockwell Swimmers were at Herne Hill's bustling Sunday Market setting out their stall for a Summer of Aquatic Fun at the Lido. There was lots of interest from passing visitors and plenty of positive feedback from the community supporting a local swimming club.

Events planned for 2017 include Water Polo, Swim/Walks, Club Races and Swim Socials at the Prince Regent. The club is run by the members, for the members, so more event ideas are always welcomed. Membership is free online at www.brockwellswimmers.com

New theatre event scheduled for OTC Bar - Off The Cuff on 24th July is called SUGAR BUTTIES and will feature 6 comic acts including a family show that will kick off straight after Herne Hill Market at 4pm! Snag is producer Jessica Forrest could use at least a dozen more chairs! Can you help lend? If you can help Jessica out, contact her on Jessicaforrest@live.com or 07980329009

Thanks for all those who came and said "hi" to Dennis and his friends at The Herne Hill Market last week.  In particular, thanks to all the little Picasso's, Da Vinci's and Salvador Dali's who entered the Ferocious Dennis colouring in competition.  With more than thirty entries to mull over, Dennis has had a pretty tough task over the last week choosing the winner.  So tough in fact that he's actually picked two winners!  You can see all of our favourites in the picture, but the lucky two winners are...

 Herne Hill Market celebrates its 3rd Birthday

Herne Hill market was buzzing last Sunday as locals and passers-by alike revelled in the party atmosphere. Celebrating the market’s 3rd birthday, the Herne Hill Forum organised a day of party games, live music, a stand-up comedian and local bands.

For the third year running, the Herne Hill Music Festival in conjunction with the Herne Hill Forum hosted bandstand events in Herne Hill Market. As in 2014, this year there were two bandstand events on two Sundays (the first Sunday slightly truncated because Capicorn Sax Quartet was forced to cancel) in the market section of Railton Road.

Sustainable Energy 24, SE24, at the Herne Hill Market

SE24, now officially a certified Community Benefit Society, had a successful and fun day yesterday at the Herne Hill Market. With a sustainable energy-themed spin the wheel game for kids and free cycle-powered smoothies for all we really did attract a lot of attention! But beyond the fun and games it was amazing to spend the time talking to people about SE24, solar panels and our plans. Most importantly, it was very encouraging to find so many people supportive of the project.
