Tucked down the backstreets between Loughborough junction and Oval, is the gorgeous Myatts’ Fields park with pretty little bandstand, friendly locals plus a flourishing new community market launched earlier this year by the lovely Stephanie..

Have visited on a few occasions and got to know the friendly faces behind quite a few amazing and unique food stalls, from Juyhin with her authentic Kimchi to Rasta Ria with her addictive Jerk Tofu to Merak with her tantalising traditonal Greek sweets that leave you drooling for more. Ate loads of good food, entertained by brilliant bands and connected to another pocket of community love in South London, w

Happy to share that I’ll be involved with the wonderful warm and fuzzy creative community that is Camberwell Arts Festival on the 1st of December. Will be their Christmas markets across three different venues, so lots to choose from!

Especially if you’re tired of the faceless, nameless consumer culture that surrounds the Festive season..Chance to get to know the source of your products, hear their story and how they’re actually made.

I shall have my brand new range of lavender eye pillows, yoga journals and mat bags, all made with ethically sourced, sustainable textiles, including bamboo silk (sexy!) and organic cotton..lusssh!

These are also available on my new website shop; https://www.purplepalmwellness.com/

Here’s a little from the organisers themselves:

Looking for unique and thoughtful gifts this Christmas? Camberwell Arts are offering more creativity, style and local talent than ever before on Saturday 1 December between 12noon and 5pm. Visit over 40 stalls in three market locations hung like festive baubles strung delicately across central Camberwell:
The Tiger Pub, Butterfly Walk Arcade and The Joiners pub are all within 50m from one to the other.
No matter what the weather, the three markets are under cover, and in both pubs you will find warmth, hot food and mulled wine on offer.
