We’re so excited to welcome back Katie Rose & friends for the Welcome Choir Peace Parade on Saturday 22nd September.   Everyone will gather at Antenna Cafe at midday, and they will sing well-known and global peace songs, tuning in with people singing around the world as part of One Day One Choir 🙂   If singing’s not your thing, it’s also fine just to come and wave a banner, smile and enjoy the good vibes :). For more info: Katie Rose [email protected] 

Snacks – Hot sausage rolls from Ricochez.  Straight out the oven in three different flavours.  

Lunch & deli – Comfort & Joy Hot tasty wraps, salads and those famous scotch eggs plus takeaways – curries, lasagne and more.  Great picnic food to take away.

Community – Crystal Palace Community Association – come and find out more (on Patchwork Farm stall).

Olives & olive oil – Mar de Olivos  Mar says “After the summer holidays, I am bringing tasty Spanish olives from Andalucia. Come and try our popular and delicious mild and green “chupadedos”, spicy “bravas” or pitted manzanilla “mojo picon” sauce. If you prefer something sweet try our chocolate with extra virgin olive oil: it’s available as a spread or in bars. If you want to buy a real Spanish extra virgin olive oil straight from the producer come for some advice: I have plenty of options to suit your palate, mild, peppery or bitter. And finally I am very happy to present just for Crystal Palace an oil that it has been made only by women called Woman’s Soul. It’s really good! See you there Saturday!”
