Friday 29 April to Monday 2 May
Fri 11am-8pm; Sat 10am-6pm; Sun & Mon 12 noon-6pm at
Southbank Centre Square,  Belvedere Road
Street food is going through a revolution as the greasy
sausage merchants of yesterday are replaced by vendors of
cheap, fresh, well sourced and truly exciting food. The Real
Food Festival team has brought together the very best of
this new generation of authentic vendors to Southbank Centre
for the first Real Street Food Festival, creating a street
party with food fit for a future king. Taking place over the
weekend of the Royal Wedding, visitors will be able to
experience first hand a quirky line-up of specialist vendors
which will include traders sourced by the renowned Eat
Street Collective who are fast gaining a loyal following of
devotees, with popular favourites including Choc Star,
Healthy Yummies and Bhangra Burger. Also due to make a
return to the streets from their temporary base in a New
Cross pub is the Meatwagon whose legendary 24 day aged beef
burgers command legions of followers.

SE1 COMMUNITY SALE
Saturday 30 April
10.30am-1.30pm at St Hugh's, Crosby Row; entry 60p inc drink
& cake
First in a series of four events at St Hugh's church just
off Crosby Row.
* New & nearly new clothes
* Arts & crafts
* Vintage
* Homewares
* Cakes, tea & coffee
* Jumble
* Children's activity corner
As the church prepares for redevelopment, the congregation
is raising funds to enable it to continue its community
activities in temporary venues during the demolition and
building work and to furnish its new space. The aim is to
create a genuine, exciting local community event. If you've
got something to sell - be it cards, cakes, jewellery, jam -
the organisers are keen to hear from you. A local sale, by
local people, with something for everyone in our community.
If you want to book a stall, check out the Google Group,
Facebook event, email [email protected] or call Zuzu on
07950 332433. For the first sale at least St Hugh's is
asking for 10 per cent of each stallholder's sales, rather
than paying a table/space fee upfront. This way no-one
should be out of pocket if their products do not sell, nor
if the attendence is lower than hoped. Donations of items
for sale on St Hugh's own stall are also very welcome.
