Ladywell (Christmas) Supper Club - Friday 12 December at The Larder, Ladywell

Elen from the Ladywell Supper Club writes:

I am very excited to announce that I will be hosting a festive supper club at The Larder in Ladywell on Friday 12 December.  I believe it will be our best supper club to date and am so excited about celebrating this season's foods with a festive twist.

It will be a cocktail and four courses (and a few little extra bits here and there - it will be Christmas after all!) and tickets are priced at £32.00.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday November 21st @10am and will be available here.

Ladywell Christmas Market - Sat 6th December

Following the great success of last year's market, this year's Christmas Market in Ladywell will be taking place on Saturday 6th December.

Applications for stalls are available from Slater & King on Ladywell Road or by emailing hello@slaterandking.co.uk - £45 if you have your own insurance or £55 if not. There are only a limited number of stalls, so be quick!

Ladywell Christmas Market on 14 Dec - volunteer stewards needed

After all the argy-bargy over the Ladywell Road streetscape works, Ladywell businesses have been given Council go-head for a Ladywell Christmas Market to be held on the new, widened pavement on Sat 14 December between 11.00am and 4.00pm.

There’ll be creative crafters, brilliant bakers and fabulous food producers offering their locally-made Christmas gifts, plus hot mulled wine to warm you up and a rousing chorus of festive fun!

BUT the organisers need stewards on the day to keep the crowds under control – so if you can donate an hour or two of your time to help with stewarding, please email el@elskitchen.co.uk with the times you are available.  Every little helps!

The Ladywell Christmas Market would like to thank Sebastian Roche estate agents for their generous sponsorship this year.

LVIG Christmas benefit gig (8 Dec) - and Santa Claus is coming to town!

Ahead of Ladywell’s strictly glitzy Christmas market on 15 December, the Ladywell Village Improvement Group is organising a lively benefit evening on Saturday 8 December.  The Ladywell Tavern will come alive with the ska, rock and soul sounds of the Grey Cats, with support from young acoustic singer-songwriter, Nyona, and acoustic sing-along covers with John and Stuart.  The line up of entertainment will start at 8.00pm and while entry is free, donations are welcome.  All money raised will go towards the cost of putting on the Christmas market and on improvement projects in Ladywell.

Cynthia Lamptey, Chair of the LVIG events team, said: “This is going to be a really lively and fun evening out.  Come with family, friends or neighbours and support your local community and your local high street.  The Ladywell Tavern is a great venue and we have an excellent evening of entertainment lined up.”

Children will also be thrilled to learn that, over the same weekend, Santa and the Christmas Angel will be visiting 'Slater and King' at 46 Ladywell Road SE13 on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 December from 10.00am-6.00pm.

Ladywell Christmas Market is ON!

The ever popular Ladywell Christmas Market will take place again this year, on Saturday 15 December. Our events team is looking for volunteers, especially those with marketing, PR and publicity and fundraising skills to come and join us and make this happen. Please email if you're interested and have some spare time!

As previously, there will festive cheer, local craft and food stalls, seasonal drinks and treats, and opportunities to snap up some last minute Christmas presents.

If you'd like to reserve a stall, please email - as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

A big thank you to everyone at last night's Ladywell Assembly who supported funding to cover the upfront costs of the Market.
