Riverside Summer Fair, Southwark Arts Forum at Hays Galleria

Hays Galleria (picture by Stephen Way)

I'm delighted to have been invited to take part in this summer fair on Saturday 28th July, the opening weekend of the Olympics. It will be in the Hays Galleria, between London Bridge and Tower Bridge from 12-5pm. The Riverside Summer Fair is a daytime festival, featuring creative talent from South London. It will have artists selling a varied selection of art and craft, as well as feature great local food traders, live musicians and performances throughout the day. The event has been created by the Southwark Arts Forum.

Bridget Edwards, Southwark Arts Forum Director says:

“It’s a great chance for the general public to experience the arts, to engage with artists, musicians, and see art outside of the context of a gallery.”

Saturday and Sunday 10/11 September 2011


There will be 'retro style and glamour' fashion shows at 2pm each day.  There will also be a beer tent and bands and various vintage themed events.  There will also be lots and lots of boats! I've just got back from St Ives and I can never see too many boats.


Thames Revival is from 12pm to 10pm, the market is from 12pm to 6pm.


Entry is free so if you fancy it please drop by.


This is part of the Artsmart pop-up market. 

Artsmart the festival

Here are a few pics of the Betty's Revenge stall at Artsmart.  So lovely to be outside after hours being inside designing and sewing!  The weather was great and all the stewards and stall holders were helpful, friendly and relaxed.  Due to the weather, several friends visiting/helping out, food and drink stalls and music it felt more like a festival than working...


While there I managed to get a one to one chat with Paula Reed, Style Director at Grazia Magazine.  She thought my bags and purses were on trend and stylish!!  She particularly liked the Sketchy bag and the new 50s Sears range of purses (images coming soon).
