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!

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
