Sunday 11th Oct: Jumble Trail for Finsbury Park area

Luirette

A fabulous jumble trail is going to be held in Stroud Green / Finsbury Park /Crouch End area on Sunday 11th October, 11-5pm Basically this involves people having stalls in their own front gardens - cheap and easy. It's all coordinated on the jumble trail website which has a map of all the stalls so people know where to go. The result is a fun community event where you can make some money, clear out your attic and get to know your neighbours. You can also sell craft goods, home-made food or pretty much whatever you fancy (presumedly with the exception of alcohol!) if you'd like to signup to have a stall go to this website. http://www.jumbletrail.com/event/Finsbury+Park (there's a £5 admin fee) I've only just heard about jumble trail but apparently there was a small one near Crouch Hill recently. The biggest one in the country is held in Clapton with over 350 stalls and a mention in timeout. http://www.timeout.com/london/shopping/clapton-jumble-trail

There was one in Grenville Gardens - which is probably the one you'd heard about but included some roads south of Hanley Road.  Haven't heard from neighbours how it went

36 stalls have been registered so far for the jumble trail next Sunday - looks like it'll be a big event!

I have joined up also. Really looking forward to meeting some of the local community and hopefully clearing out some stuff

Yes, me too on both counts! I'm holding my stall to raise money for a medical charity.

Blimey that's loads! Fingers crossed for lots of visitors. My living room is completely stuffed with all the things people have given me to sell.

Just walked past about ten places shown on the map- not one stall.

Just got myself a fish kettle I didn't know that I needed. Lots of great stalls out there.

Arkady

None of the ones on Stapleton, Osborne, Victoria or Marquis seem to be there, and at least some of the Upper Tollington ones are missing. I did see one near Vagabond.

miss annie

Oh, that's annoying! Quite a lot on Tollington & UTP.

miss annie

Lovely day, lots of stuff sold and great to finally meet Checkski!

Only one stall was not there when we arrived, which was on Wray Crescent.<div><br></div><div>Our route: Sainsbury's cash point > Mt Pleasant Crescent > Japan Crescent > Sparsholt > Regina > Upper Tollington > Florence > Woodstock > Charteris > Tollington > Turle > Tollington > Wray > Corbyn > Home.</div><div><br></div><div>Met some truly lovely people I'm happy to discover live in the area, and swapped some fun stories.</div><div><br></div><div>Bought a backpack full of useful (mostly) stuff including a lovely indian tea kettle, some old Japanese toys, two fantastic OLE Copenhagen mugs and some things for pending baby.

Ah, you beat me to it, Miss Annie. I am here to tell the world what a pleasure it was at last to make your acquaintance, and, more briefly, that of Miss Vetski. And there in the background was dear old Detritus, recounting his likes and dislikes. The only one we agreed upon was John Major, you lot may be surprised to learn!

I was set up in Wray Crescent Matt, sorry we missed you. We were there 11am to 4.30pm, but decided to pack up a little early.

Lucile_park

Had a great time today meeting lots of new people in the local area. Quite a few mentioned they cannot wait for the next one and are keen to have their own stall.

Between the sunshine and all the stalls what a great atmosphere in Stroud Green today! Really nice to have everybody smiling and saying hello to each other. I raised a bit of money for charity and met some nice people. Now have to decide what to do with all the left over stuff piled up in my living room!

Arkady

The Islington side was much more impressive! We eventually made it along Tollington Park and then back down Corbyn, Regina, and Mount Pleasant Crescent - loads of stalls, and a real community atmosphere.

vetski

Lovely to meet you too, @checkski!

Quite right, I was thinking of Japan Crescent. A part of MPC is in Islington, but I don't think any addresses are!

The next one is in April, I'll start a new thread with a link to the map. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/950235181728449/">https://www.facebook.com/events/950235181728449/</a>;
