​
0% gin, rum, beer, cider and other specialist soft drinks 
We had planned three bars for the event. But you know what they say about the best laid plans . . .

The postponement of un-lockdown to July means that in order to sell alcohol at the event we would have to insist on table service for everyone. This is not practical given that we would have five different sources of food and drink, all of which have to be paid for separately, so we have taken the difficult decision to only serve soft drinks alongside the BBQ and food from the café.

But that doesn't mean we are serving ordinary soft drinks! Shelley and Nathalie from local business MeSoThirsty are bringing a range of 0% gins, rums, beers, ciders, etc so you can have all the taste with none of the rules and regulations. They will also offer drinks such as elderflower with goodies to be confirmed.

In addition, they will have their range of specialist gins and other spirits, to drink at the event or to take home,




​Richard from Hermitage Brewery will also be at the market, selling his local beer to take away. We are honoured that one of his best selling beers was created for (drum roll) Hampstead Norreys Community Shop, for our opening, 10 years ago!
BBQ


​Fresh sausages from local supplier Vicars Game and Richmond veggies sausages in buns.
Onions, sauce, mayo, mustard all optional.
​Thanks to Jackie and Stephen who are running the BBQ on our behalf.
Other food and drink
Cakes, sausage rolls, other deli items, soft drinks, tea and americano style coffee, sandwiches, wraps and ice creams will be available through the rear doors of the café.
​(For other barista coffee, please use the front doors of the shop, but there may be a queue.)
​Special offer for the market: coffee/tea with a slice of cake for only £4.
Information about local clubs, activities, etc.

Community painting
A first for Hampstead Norreys, thanks to talented local artist Simon of Armadillo Images (see below for information about his stall). Simon is bringing a large board and acrylic paints, and anyone who would like to have a go, children and adults, can contribute to a painting of Hampstead Norreys, e.g. the shop, the church, the village hall, the pub, the school, and so on. The picture below shows the result of a similar venture at Thatcham. We hope everyone will have a go: don't worry if you are not particularly artistic as Simon will advise. Should be fun. (And it is free!)
See the latest for the shop orchard
Although the terraces will not be open (the site is still under construction), you will be able to admire the shop orchard trees planted last autumn and see information about our latest community shop project.

​The Good Life Hub is the latest business venture at Hampstead Norreys. Come and have a look inside the barn at the beautiful premises and learn from Leanne how her business will work.
And another sneak peak - this time at Litten Tree Antiques
Another village transformation has taken place at the old Wesleyan Chapel across the road from the shop, Litten Tree Antiques, with unique, decorative and garden antiques and vintage pieces, will be open during the market for visitors to pop in (other times by appointment). Say hello to owner Elizabeth, from Hampstead Norreys.
