West Ealing Neighbours, local businesses and traders and the Council have joined together to put on the first ever West Ealing Family Day. Across the centre of West Ealing in Leeland Road, Melbourne Avenue and St James Avenue we will be putting on a series of events and activities for all the family. The three streets will be differently themed:
Leeland Road will have a specially extended farmers’ market with apples as a theme (it’s Apple Day on October 21st). There will be an exhibition of over 100 rare and different varieties of apple, cider tasting, apple and spoon racing and an apple juicing demonstration
Melbourne Avenue will be for food and entertainment with a stage set up for a variety of local music and dance events as well as children’s entertainment and food stalls
St James Avenue is all about what people local people are producing, whether its crafts or artworks, and will play host to the first ever street craft market in West Ealing. WEN’s Abundance team will be busy making apple and pear juice all pressed from locally picked fruit and St James Church will house an art exhibition by the Brent Lodge Park Arts Collective – a collective of artists with and without learning difficulties. The church will also open its cafe where you can put your feet up and try locally made cakes and sandwiches.

We had a great time at this event. My son is at university in London. So we decided to have a day out together at this Ealing event. We especially enjoyed the rare apples and the apple and spoon racing on Leeland Road. Hope they run this event next year!
Are there plans in place to hold a family day this October 2011??
We’re planning to hold it a little earlier this year either on 17th or 24th September. There is also a possibility of a food festival at the same time. Once we know exactly what’s happening when we’ll make sure we let people know.
