In addition, our incredible CAFETERIA TEAM will be dishing up soup, Tea, Coffee and soft drinks with lots of home baking to be consumed. There will be produce for sale, including jams and chutneys.
We have invited a number of organisations to come along. Some will set up their stall and some will mingle with plot-holders.
KPC have their own little garden outside. It is wonderful what they have done and, although it is the wrong time of year with harvest past, it is worth a look at how they have managed to set up an urban garden.
