Local crafts and our WI cake stall will be the highlights of Stroud Green Women’s Institute WInter Fair on Saturday 30 November, which is raising funds for Mind in Haringey. There will also be a WI preserves stall selling jams and chutneys.
Local small businesses and crafts people will be selling unique gifts – jewellery, ceramics, stationery, cards, candles, scarves, gardens in a jar and homeware and much more!
And there will be wonderful raffle prizes donated by local businesses in Stroud Green and Finsbury Park, including a Christmas tree from The Christmas Forest, a £40 meal for two from the Stapleton Tavern, goodies from The Deli at 80, a £25 voucher from Rewild Flowers, a £15 voucher from Bacchus N4 plus a stallholders group prize.
We’re pleased to welcome the following stalls: Fran Wood Design’s Scandi and mid-century inspired screenprints and giftware, mini gardens from Linda Philips, jewellery designed and handmade by Leila Khasal, handmade or upcycled items to help promote a plastic free lifestyle from Wastelady Studio, stationery and paper goods from illustrator Julia Wyzgowska, handcrafted ethical fashion accessories from Enfair, wheel thrown stoneware ceramics from Maria Cabrera, sterling silver and gold jewellery from Tracey O’Neill, gift wrap, prints and homeware from Bryony & Bloom, accessories and homeware using upcycled vintage fabrics and trimmings from Annie Sparkles, a range of hand felted items from Jacqui Osley, plants and gifts from Rewild, crochet mug cosies and gift accessories from That Tea Cat, fabric and crafty bargains from Shoreditch Sisters WI, and handmade scarves, shrugs and aprons from Rarebits Design.
The fair will be opened at 12pm by the mayor of Haringey, Councillor Sheila Peacock.
Sarah Wiseman, president of Stroud Green WI, said: “We’ve got a wonderful variety of stalls featuring handmade crafts, plants and jewellery. We’re all looking out for Christmas presents – for ourselves if no one else! You won’t want to miss getting a slice or two of our cake, or a jar of preserves. It’s going to be a great afternoon in aid of a superb cause.”
Lynette Charles, Chief Executive Officer of Mind in Haringey, which will benefit from money raised on the day, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the WI raising money from this year’s fair for Mind in Haringey. Every pound we make on the day will help us support the well-being and mental health of people in Haringey.”
The Stapleton Tavern has generously donated the use of its grand Chandelier room for the fair.
