Deptford Christmas 6&7 December 2008

Next weekend is the first Deptford Christmas event, organised and partially hosted by the Deptford Project.

A yurt at the Deptford Project will be the venue for Snow Stories performances morning and afternoon on both days, and there will be a Christmas market in Giffin Square and at the DP throughout the weekend.

'Home-made fairground games and clowing around' will be taking place from midday onwards Saturday and Sunday and if you want to get your own home-made Christmas decorations on show, bring them along to the Deptford Project where they will be hung up on their festive wall.

Arts and crafts for kids are promised from 11am on Saturday in Giffin Square, and at 4pm the grand switch-on of the lights on the Christmas tree will take place, with Snow White as the guest of honour.

It seems there will be festive music from carol singers and a band over the weekend, not to mention Santa in a grotto at the Deptford Project. More info here.

Don't forget it's Cockpit Arts open studios the same weekend - another great reason to pop along to Deptford for a visit!

Once you are tired of shopping, how about some art?

Bearspace is showing Raising Ground while APT Gallery has a show by Emyr Williams.

Something to look forward to - and I have several purchases planned from Cockpit Arts!
