Q: What do you get when you cross the Epping Forest Baby team with a nearly new sale at Christmas time?

A: The Festive Family Market

NB: Unfortunately the nearly new sale was scrapped in the making of this product.

But seriously … after the success of our last baby show, we wanted to put on something warm and snuggly around Christmas time. We knew we had lots of lovely families in Epping who wanted more from us and we knew we had lots of lovely businesses who wanted to work with us. And so … the Festive Family Market was born, back in June!

What’s it all about?

Well Santa won’t be there (it is only November) and there won’t be any second hand clothes BUT there will be lots and LOTS of lovely stallholders, all of whom are local, most of whom are small startups and many of which are mums or dads in business.

There’ll also be food AND drinks. From coffee or hot chocolate, to cakes, kebabs and even … beer!

You can bring your little people for a photo shoot or come alone. It’s £1 on the door (all going to Safer Places refuge) we’re also collecting real life stuff for the refuge on the day (see below).

Do come and say hello to the Epping Forest Baby team and get warmed up for Christmas.

Plus you can save the planet by a) walking; b) not flying to a far-off Christmas market; and c) supporting local.
