Hackney Sale Trail

Picture a communal American-style yard sale, with residents putting out all of their unique treasures on their front gardens at the same time on the same day. Championing the true Hackney spirit, this is the first ever Hackney Craft and Jumble Sale Trail, and perhaps even the first event of its kind in London. Assisted by a map available three days before the event, residents and visitors can stroll through the neighbourhood, from Clapton, along the river Lea, through to Hackney Downs and Hackney Central, and on to Stoke Newington and Dalston, and stop to rummage through the goodies that the fascinating residents of this area no doubt have on sale. You're bound to find some hidden gems and certain to meet some interesting characters. To register a stall e-mail jumbletrail@shoestringstylist.com. Homes with stalls will be detailed on a downloadable map (www.hackneysaletrail.tumblr.com).
