homemade pasta, grilled cheese toasties and plenty of hot cross buns and chocolate for you to get
your hands on!
In addition, there is going to be a farm on site, a sheep show, face painting, art, Easter-egg hunt,
a circus street performance and design workshop amongst other activities.
If you don’t make it during the Easter festivities; starting from April, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
the market regularly showcases local craft, art and design, also lots of different street-food stalls
as well as live music and DJ events.

3. THE PIADINA PROJECT
When: 19-24 and 26-31 March
Where: The Rose & Crown, 71-73 Torriano Ave, NW5 2SG
Moving over to the West, Kentish Town, you can stumble on some amazing fried chicken with Italian flatbreads.
“Finally I would get to try this magical Italian flatbread that my
Italian Grandfather, Gianni, at length had always spoken to me
about… I was totally blown away by the colours and the delights
of the fillings available. When it arrived you could see that it was
packed with lashings of Italian cream cheese, layers of cured
meats and the bright green of the rocket protruding out from the
sides. I still remember taking it in my hand and thinking, why on
earth do we not have this back home in the UK” – Jack Padoan
In February 2016 Jack decided to bring this Italian cuisine to London and you shouldn’t miss a
chance to experience it!

5. ENFIELD GIN PALACE
POP-UP BAR
When: 30 March and 27 April
Where: Old Bakery Gin, 4 Pymmes Mews N13 4PF
If you find yourself a bit North East and looking for a place to get unique drinks with a rich history –
look no further than the Old Bakery Gin. It’s worth venturing to, even from far away!
The amazing reviews reinforce that it is something to experience (especially if you’re someone partial to a gin).
A tiny part of their story behind the Old Bakery Gin:
“We discovered that 100+ years ago the old bakery had a secret-
they made illegal Gin!! … There was talk that the original Illcit Gin
recipe included Stinging Nettle leaves, however we have tried to
make it 100’s of different ways including Stinging nettles
(including freezing the leaves & leaving them to soak in trays of
sugar) but each time the taste has been awful.
The original recipe may have been lost in time, but we think this is
as close as it gets” – Ian Puddick
