North End Road Goes Traffic Free Again for Autumn Market
With over 100 stalls, music, entertainment and funfair all day Saturday
With more than 100 stalls lining both sides of the road, a wide array of gifts, food and drink, crafts, jewellery, art and clothes will be on offer.
The traffic-free market is part of Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s drive, together with residents in the North End Road Action Group, to revive this major high street.
Some of the highlights this year include handmade jewellery, clothes with hand drawn artwork, vintage cake stands, bicycles and cycling gear, adult clothes and children’s wear.
There will be plenty of tasty lunch and dinner options as well as other treats including freshly made churros, Jamaican cakes and Hong Kong street snacks.
John Parnham Funfair will be there with some of their most popular rides. Comedian and juggler Dan the Hat, a colourful clown and striking stilt walkers will be wandering throughout the crowd, keeping young and old entertained.
Tyber Cranstoun, frontman of popular Ska and reggae band The Dualers will be performing many of their much loved hits. The group are known for their chart hit Kiss on the Lips and for playing alongside the likes of The Skatalites, Toots and the Maytals, Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Cliff, UB40 and Madness.
Soul group Lyra will also be getting the crowd dancing with their impressive vocals and rhythmic guitar sounds. There will also be a DJ to keep the music flowing.
Madam Zucchini, who has featured on television’s Britain’s Got Talent thanks to her skill at creating puppets out of vegetables, will be running children’s shows.
“We’re delighted by how popular North End Road’s traffic-free markets have become,” said Cllr Andrew Jones, H&F Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration.
“Once again there will be no buses, lorries or cars – just fantastic stalls and eye-catching entertainment."
