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.
