Jumble Trail

2015 Jumble Trail

2015 Jumble Trail

West Norwood’s 4th Jumble trail is on Sunday 24th April  11am to 3pm. It’s like a car boot sale ( or garage sale) but lots of separate stalls  in the streets across West Norwood. A great chance for real bargains…

A stall costs £3.50 to put you on the map & goes to help cover costs of advertising.
