Great Expectations!

The First of the monthly markets at Surrey Docks Farm has come and gone. What fabulous weather! What a brilliant day and a great start to something new, learn about the farm, and learn to sew!

I had suggested to Barry (the market manager) some time ago -  after the very successful Spring Fair, that we should start up a monthly market - as with most new and fresh ideas - he agreed and we got the word out straight away! After a lot of planning and preparation - the day finally arrived and Saturday, 3rd July saw the first of the Surrey Docks Farm Markets arise!

In true, Miss Libby Rose - crafty fashion - we ran a workshop! making bee costumes (in the end it was anything - butterflies, lady bugs etc)

we had mini - bees - both girls and boys.. butterflies and even the adults joined in

...and so we now start to arrange next months event... Want to join in?

We would love to make the market truly accessable to all and involve more and more crafts, arts and all things brilliant! ....

A word from Barry: (market + farm manager) "We want to create an innovative and regular market at the farm for local produce, arts, crafts, clothes, collectables and delightful surprises.  If you'd like a stall there for £20 paid at 9.30am on the day, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
