Would anyone be interested if I was to organise a craft fair locally? It would be for handmade items only, maybe with some music going on as well. I used to organise this kind of thing before I moved to london, and east dulwich seems like the perfect place to try it again. There is a huge revival going on of handmade crafts.... So I was wondering who would be up for it, either as a seller or who would want to visit something like that? Also venue ideas would be great! Thanks!

jo77, pubs in ED are all very supportive of local events - I have a food tasting business and have held charity events at the Mag and Hoopers Bar, and have seen many more market-style events advertised! I'm sure if you ask around you'll have no trouble finding a venue. Upstairs at the EDT has always appealed to me, I just haven't got around to organising something there yet ;-)

If you want to include the idea of DIY crafts, The Scarlet Peacock runs some great classes locally.

Good luck!

I would be up for having a stall .. there's loads of up-cycling vintage crafty people in E D also tons of musicians/DJs' and the like ... go for it! Summertime on Goose green? or the constitutional hall on East Dulwich Grove is a great indoor space much under used ,there's even a stage there .

If you need a lively band then have a look at us we do all sorts of events and we can discuss terms as there is always something that can be done if it is a community event, after all we are a community project!!Just google Endurance Steel Orchestra we would be perfect for a summers day outdoor fair!

Good luck with your idea.

Hi everyone, sorry I have been away. Really excited to see lots of interest, from sellers and bands!

I'm definitely doing this, will check out venues. Suggestions welcome! Tables will be reasonably priced, profits will go to charity.

Thanks for the tip about the goose green fair, went last year and it was fab!

Thanks everyone, this is getting exciting! I am exploring venues so will keep you all posted. It will be for charity to raise money for children affected by domestic violence (I do this as a day job and currently one third of all services are having to close due to cuts).

Thanks for the offers of music, that will be fantastic!

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
