Join us at the Herne Hill Christmas market on Saturday 13th December from 11am – 4pm. Find our marquee next to the Half Moon Pub where we’ll be selling the work of some of our talented designers, putting on loads of fun festive activities and telling you all about the Blue Patch mission! Don’t miss out on our very own singing Green Santa, the Christmas craft corner, and the chance to win prizes from some of our favourite Blue Patch retailers.
We’ve picked some great businesses to join us at the market, so whether you’re looking for some unique gifts for loved ones or just a pre-Christmas treat for yourself, we’ve got it covered.
There’s fantastic ideas for secret Santas and stocking fillers from Umbags and Natty Peeps, beautiful handmade lingerie in the softest ethical fabrics from Luva Huva, as well as prints and ceramics from Lydia Brenchley, Anna Silverton, Annette Welch, Louise Ward and Blue Patch’s very own Jane and Julia.
For the cycling enthusiasts among you, bring your bike down for a free chain oiling courtesy of Green Oil, who will be selling their natural cleaning gift sets. We’ll also have Caren from Hartley Cycles with her wonderful bicycles, handmade in Peckham; the perfect opportunity for you to get healthy in the New Year in style!
Get your home in the Christmas spirit with Shamini’s festive garlands and wreaths made with the the best of British, seasonal foliage, and check out Lucy Storrs’ lovely felt decoration kits – a great way to spend a wintery December evening.
Our crafty corner and singing Santa will keep the kids entertained while you shop.
Help us create an eco winter scene by turning old magazines and newspaper into trees for our recycled forest. We’ll also show you how to draw your very own green Father Christmas, and you can meet the man in person as he collects your sustainable New Year resolutions. We’ll be picking a winner and tweeting our favourites, so get thinking about how you’re going to be more environmentally friendly in 2015.

See you there!
