This Friday coming I am hosting The Underground Night Market in my flat and garden. After the first Underground Market started in San Francisco, there are now Underground Markets springing up all over the states (link to article in the New York Times and also here ‘Food Raves’). I know the Real Food Festival is going on at Olympia, if you want to come afterwards, take the train to Willesden Junction and change for Brondesbury. I’m a ten minute walk from there. The perfect after party! I’m trying this market in the evening to attract a younger, after work crowd, but all are welcome although children must be accompanied. There is music from Shekoyokh and Tom Baker, cooking demonstrations, hot food, food to buy for the weekend, crafts, alcohol and the dragon’s den for food businesses. Buy your tickets here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/108275 £5 only.
On the door it’s £6 if you come with a ticket holder.
No unaccompanied children.
Children under 6: free
6 to 14: £2.
It starts at 6pm, last entries 10pm.
I will also be selling and signing my new book Supper Club: recipes and notes from The Underground Restaurant. and selling glasses of bubbly.

Sounds great, being in the evening i think it will feel more like an event, rather than something you just wonder round on a lazy Sunday.
Hope to come – just got to get round to buying a ticket! xxx
PS I should have said I most certainly definitely want to come – just it is my first week of CELTA so worried I may be dead come Friday…xxx
You are so wild! Hope the gate crasher ponies up the cash!
how brilliant- v.excited about coming to this!
I wish I could come – it looks so much fun. Good luck with it K and hope to see you soon. X
Oh I wish I lived close by (home is Scotland), I would be there in a shot. Would be a fantastic night!
Hope to see you all, those who can come, here on friday xx
Congrats on your blog! Shame I didn´t know about this event before!! I´m awaiting comments on how it went.
Feel free to swing by my blog, A Londoner form Afar. 🙂
If you have any advice for a food-lover who's very enthusiastic about trying to get an Underground Market going somewhere in Cornwall, please let me know! It's an absolutely brilliant concept.
So wish I lived close by! this would have been a fantastic time!!
