Sundays 6, 13, 20 & 27 August: Horniman Market

10am-4pm. The first Sunday of the month, April through to December, is Feast day in West Norwood. A community event built around 100 market stalls over four ‘hubs’ around the high street. It is run almost entirely by volunteers who book the stalls and organise a full programme of free children’s activities and live entertainment. It is a farmer’s market, a craft fair, a flea market and a street food hub all rolled into one. Each monthly Feast is run by volunteers who organise free community engaging events. These range from talks on Caribbean cuisine for Black History month, a fashion show showcasing local talent and retail, art trails up and down the high street, to a Sports Feast that featured all the local organisations that promote active lifestyles. Added to this, volunteers organise a full schedule of entertainment at each Feast (from brass bands to live DJs) and plenty of fun and creative children’s activities (from sports days to mural making). https://westnorwoodfeast.com.

August: Magic Link Intensive Handwriting Course

9am – 12pm

10am–3pm. Located on the Bandstand Terrace, you will find stalls selling seasonal fruit and vegetables, artisan bread and cheese, organic meat and delicious street food. We have regular guest traders specialising in treats such as luxury chocolates, delightful drinks, irresistible cakes, and tasty pickles and preserves.

The programme consists of 30 unique teaching steps. It teaches neat, cursive (joined up) handwriting in a simple and logical way, using a step-by-step approach. There are minimum curls and loops with no ‘lead-in’ flicks, which often confuse and slow down speed. The programme has been developed to be highly structured, to help your child learn the correct pencil grip, posture and letter formation. It teaches capital letters, simple punctuation and numbers. The unique Magic Link® font motivates learners and makes handwriting easy and enjoyable.
