East Dulwich Christmas Cracker 2020

[FairTgirl]

Does anyone know if this is happening this year? It used to coincide with Small Business Saturday - this year Sat Dec 5 - but given Lockdown appreciate may have gone asunder.

If business can reopen by Dec 3 it would be a shame for something not to happen as local business needs so much support this year.

Might anyone know who may be the contact for organising it this year?

The last couple of years it's been run by the Dulwich Festival organisers.

It was cancelled.

Yes a real shame but we can all help by continuing to shop local,including at North Cross road market...

South London club is worth signing up as you get discounts in Dulwich and surrounding areas https://shop.southlondonclub.co.uk/products/south-london-club-card

Rye Books and other shops are doing online orders so also worth considering buying from them as opposed to Amazon for Christmas presents.

Yes, I?m trying to buy local as much as possible, have had a brilliant service over the last week from ED and Postmark. Called ED Sunday about some champagne flutes that were out of stock online, Dan called me back on Monday having sorted some for me and I collected them this week. Picked up an order from Postmark at the same time which was super easy with their click and click, recyclable Christmas wrapping paper sorted.

Please do support local business in this way - loads of businesses are there in their empty shops trying to drum up trade behind the scenes and are able to take orders for collection via email/insta/twitter even if they don't have extensive online stores and the customer service is usually amazing - Zoom or Whatsapp or Facetime tours - effectively personal shopping - we have have done all the above and even hand-deliver to the door for free.

For beauty type business best way to support is to buy gift cards/vouchers for gifts for loved ones for future use.
