Ladywell Christmas Market needs YOU!

The Ladywell Christmas Market will take place on Sat 3 December on Ladywell Road at the junction with Algernon Road. We need marshals for the event.

It is a Council requirement that enough marshals are present - and visible - for the whole time that the market is in operation.  We have 8 high-viz jackets to loan out - now we just need the people to wear them.

Please can you let me know if you are able to make a commitment and volunteer for a short while at this event?  It is one of the few times that the community gets together and puts something on and it would be a pity to let it die away due to lack of volunteers.

Please can you let me know if you are available throughout the whole day,  or only for the morning, over lunch or in the afternoon and early evening.

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.

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.

Join us for the Christmas Market benefit gig

LVIG will be holding a benefit gig at the Ladywell Tavern on Saturday 10th October to raise funds towards the costs of the Ladywell Christmas Market.

Come and join us from 8pm for great music and dancing and help make this a Christmas Market to remember!
