You’re invited to celebrate summer at Fulham’s next festival market in North End Road on Saturday 22 June.
The family friendly fun kicks off at 10am and runs to 6pm. Here’s what’s on offer at our North End Road Summer Festival:
- more than 150 stalls from local businesses, selling everything from fashion to home accessories
- food trucks with cuisine from around the world
- live music on three stages, ranging from Bunny Nightingale to SKA SONIC
- street entertainment, including RuPaul’s Drag Race Season Three contestant Scarlett Harlett.
The annual market is run by Hammersmith & Fulham Council, with help from Fulham BID.
Shop small
There will be a huge number of cool things to buy in North End Road including dresses, bags and hair accessories made with African prints from Shop Kambia, homeopathic remedies from Homeopathy with Athena, and rugs and silk home accessories from Glamour Carpets and Beds.
“I run a stall every year without fail. H&F know how to throw a street festival,” said Alex from local business Alex The Plant Guy.
“I can’t wait to catch some of the street performances, and will have plants, plants, and more plants for sale. Pop by if you’re after great deals, bargains, good plant knowledge and genuine customer care. Or just come for a chat!”
Soundtracking the summer
We’ll also be getting into the spirit of Windrush Day and Pride month with a huge range of musical entertainment.
Ska, reggae band SKA SONIC will be taking to the stage, joining a jam packed roster including DJ Piper and DJ Boots, as well as the Steel Pan Trust and Motown Duo.
Scarlett Harlett, from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season Three will also be there on the day. She joins alongside our colourful entertainers the Pride Skaters, who’ll be flashing their roller-skating skills, and two enormous stilt walking butterflies.
That’s not all. Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for Bridie, our incredibly tall tea lady, and a magic show from Charlie Chequers for the little ones.
Tasty bites
To keep you stomach fuelled, our food stalls are offering treats including Colombian vegan food from Tina’s Box, and healthy baked goods from Good Bakes.
Pork specialist Mr Porchetta will also be there, serving up artisan porchetta sandwiches and pork crackling snacks.
