The last Twist on Station Rise market has now passed but the Twist Traders are still trading!
“We are extremely proud of organising a successful event in an alleyway that had never seen anything like it before. Many of the traders used Twist to launch themselves and new products and are now trading at others spots around Lambeth.
We even have some in a central Brixton shop – which is great. We have proved a street market can happen in this space – and we hope the Tulse Hill community will drive forward new markets there” – Lydia Gardner – Tree Shepherd

More ‘Twistees’ have been spotted at West Norwood Feast!
Including these two who were next to each other – the members have all mentioned that they loved the networking with other newbies and established sellers as they learn’t so much more and found new opportunities, which will help them grow!
Stephanie Caley of Caley’s Apothecary was featured on The Saturday Show talking herbal medicine with Gaby Roslin & Sunetra Sarka.
