INUA ELLAMS: POEMS FROM THE GOLD CARAVAN

Wed 12.30pm-1.30pm; Thu 7.30pm-8.30pm at The Gold Caravan,
Flat Iron Square,  Union Street
The award-winning poet and performer will read poems he
wrote after meetings with Bankside residents and builders
working on the Tate Modern development. The performances,
commissioned by MERGE, will take place in a tiny, vintage,
gold-painted caravan, possibly the smallest mobile
performance space in London. Ellams's style is influenced by
classic literature and hip-hop, as much by Keats as by
MosDef. Rooted in a love for rhythm and language, he crosses
18th century romanticism and traditional story telling with
contemporary diction, loose rhythm and rhyme.

SCHOOL FOOD MATTERS HARVEST SALE
Thursday 11 October
11am-1pm  at Jubilee Market, Borough Market
Pupils from 10 local schools will be selling seasonal
vegetables that they have grown and nurtured from seed. The
Harvest Sale is the culmination of a partnership between
Borough Market and School Food Matters, a charity whose
mission is to ensure that every child enjoys fresh,
sustainable food at school and understands where their food
comes from. The project kicked off back in May, when pupils
and teachers were given a masterclass by food writer and
horticulturalist Tom Moggach who showed them how to plant
and care for their seeds. Since then, pupils and teachers
alike have cared for their crops which include pumpkins,
squashes and even some beetroot. Now, as autumn arrives, the
vegetables, will be making their way to Borough Market.  The
money raised by the sale of the vegetables will go to
FareShare, an award winning charity which seeks to relieve
food poverty by rescuing good food that would otherwise go
to waste.
