How the day works

Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

FAQs for North Woolwich
What’s the nearest station to North Woolwich?

Can you come to a school fair in North Woolwich?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.

How soon do we need to book?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.

That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
