Lee Green Open Studios – Weekend 1

Start date: November 14, 2026
End date: November 15, 2026
Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Brindishe Lee Primary School, Effingham Road, SE12 8NA

This takes place over the weekends 14th/15th and 21st/22nd November this year.  We will be running our usual fabulous cake stall at our new venue in the hall at Brindishe Lee (where we hold our regular meetings) over both weekends but we can only do this with your invaluable help…….

We will need lots of cake to sell for our stall to be a success so this is a great chance to try your hand at being a star baker – all bakers are stars in our eyes!

Helping out on the stall is good fun too.  It is a great way to help raise funds for the WI and also to get to know other members and meet the wider community too.   We’re very grateful for all your help, thank you!  And don’t forget we need visitors to our stall too, so do bring your friends and family for a slice of cake.
