Bonfire Weekend: Underground food rave at my house

12 Comments Filed Under: Uncategorized

Yes folks it’s that time again: the Underground Farmers and Craft Market is back. This time it’s a twofer: we are opening on Friday night and Saturday afternoon around the bonfire weekend, 4th and 5th of November.
There will be bars, live music, hot food stalls, crafts, food to buy to take home. Saturday afternoon we will again have the foodie ‘dragon’s den’ in which start up entrepeneurs in the food world can show their products to an expert panel and get feedback.
The dates for booking are:

Friday night afterwork food rave: 4th November: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/132416
Saturday afternoon foods and crafts: 5th November http://www.wegottickets.com/event/132417 includes the Dragon’s Den foodie talent show with Sheila Dillon and Jo of The Deli Station.

Entrance is £5. You must book in advance. If you have extra guests they can pay on the door £6, but they can only come with a ticket holder who has the address.

This is a farmer’s market held in a two bedroom flat and garden, a market held in a domestic house. It’s buzzy and exciting, unlike the dreary markets held in carparks and municipal spaces. There is plenty of talent to discover, from urban food producers to exquisite crafts and cooking demonstrations.

There will be a bonfire, a cocktail bar on the ironing board, plenty of urban producers and foragers. You can eat, drink, hangout and learn something too from the food demonstrations in the kitchen.

Music: 
Friday and Saturday: She’koyohk klezmer band. 
Also Phat Lizzie and her bluegrass players (Mothball Sue, Big Bad Dan, Flatfoot Alice)
And presenting Lanré a talented Nigerian born singer/songwriter.

    Hi, I was just wondering what time it will all finish? We'd need to leave at about 4.30pm – will we miss everything?

    Sometimes I wish I still lived in London…if I did I'd be able to visit your place more often…providing I had a well paid job! Just noticed you have another blog too about dining out- where do you find the time?!

    Incidentally thought of you recently as since arriving in Bristol I've noticed there is a pop up restaurant round the corner. My housemate and I are thinking of hiring it out one evening…though we may do a few trial supper clubs at his first…will let you know how we get on if we ever get our act together and do it! 😉 xxx PS What is retweeting something?
