I am known for my love of food, food festivals, and pickles! So, when my friend Abbie had heard about The Big Brine in London, she invited Dann and I along! This is a pickle-focused food festival that took place in Hackney, where there were tons and tons of pickle related items. I am talking pickles, kimchi, pickle-like items, sauces, and a lot of things that go well with pickles, if that makes sense.
Over the last few years, we have driven through High Wych after their Scarecrow Festival and have enjoyed seeing all of the different creations! This year, as it is their 10th anniversary, we made a big effort to actually catch the day that these scarecrows go out and go along to the festivities. The High Wych Scarecrow Festival is a very local event with lots of the local businesses in the area participating and many of the houses having decorations out.

Robin has been going to Perform Sheering for nearly two terms now, and it’s really quite fantastic. They did a sort of tester class at Robin’s school, which she really had a fantastic time with, and then she ended up asking to join up as it was the start of a term.

Harlow Town use to have a Harlow Town Show, many, many years back. Recently, as a part of their new developments within Harlow, they’ve been hosting more events. We’ve seen the Christmas Market, the Graffiti Festival, Lions on the Loose, and now the Harlow Town Show. This event specifically was meant for only people who live in Harlow (they had this whole ticket verification processes and everything), as it was put on for the people of Harlow.
The event had different stands and shows on each day, for three days. We went on the Sunday, going to both the daytime show and the night show. (Friday and Saturday also had a night show. Both night shows were ticketed separately to the daytime shows.) The tickets for the Harlow Town Show were very confusing generally, with Friday and Saturday evenings being labelled as 18+ only, but also Sunday evening shows saying the same in their emails – and there was this whole thing where they’d call and “check” if you were living in Harlow if you got a ticket – but obviously some people just lied and brought their out of town family members anyway. It’s all a bit of a strange thing!
