This will be our second Family Day and it will be even bigger and better than last year! We have managed to secure Opera Viscera who will be at St James Church running a children’s workshop at 1pm and later on that day at 3.15pm there will be a performance by this exciting collection of young artists.
The Family day will stretch from St John’s Church on Mattock Lane to St James Avenue. There will be food, live music across several locations, an extended farmers market, children’s activities, WEN Abundance will be selling our popular jams and chutneys and for the first time our very own apple juice!
This is a great way to celebrate life and the community in West Ealing after the shock and destruction of the recent riots.
Volunteers needed for West Ealing Craft Fair 27th November
West Ealing Neighbours (WEN) have joined forces with St James’ Church this year for the annual Christmas craft fair at the end of this month. We have a fully booked venue with lots of different types of stall and we are looking for additional volunteers to help us during the day.
We’d like to have a couple of people who could take tea and coffee to the stall holders as they can’t leave their stalls; three people who are prepared to help out in the kitchen area (a bit of clearing away of tables and some washing up); and we need about 15 people for the end of the day (about 4pm) to help clear up after the craft fair and have the Church ready for the next day.
You wouldn’t be expected to do any of this for longer than an hour so if you have more time to spare, great. If not, then an hour is helpful.
I know it’s not very glamorous stuff but these are the kind of roles which form the backbone of an event like this.
If you can spare some time, please email craftfairvolunteer@gmail.com. If you have any questions, please post them on here.
Many thanks – and even if you cannot help out, please come to the fair. It’s a pretty spectacular choice of good (and great food).
