On Saturday 6 March 11am-3pm at Christ Church, Gipsy Hill, Sell It Mama will be back again for its Spring event.
Following the success of their first fairs in 2009 this is another opportunity for cash strapped parents to purchase quality secondhand baby goods, anything from clothes, equipment, books, toys and prams from our community stall holders. Items from 50p to £100.
Their Spring event has great things on offer and they’ve improved on our formula to bring stallholders galore, entertainment and food.
Last year’s Sell It Mama supported Cancer Research. This year they’re staying local and a proportion of the proceeds from our 2010 events will be donated to the Cinema Campaign. www.picture-palace.org “As a local community event we’re thrilled to support this amazing local campaign!”, said organiser Rachel D’Cruze.
