The festive season in Chiswick will sparkle a little brighter this year with the return of the Chiswick Christmas Popup, hosted by the Chiswick Business Network.

Taking place on Wednesday 10 December from 11.30am to 3.30pm at Workspace Barley Mow, the event promises a vibrant showcase of local creativity — all in aid of The Mulberry Centre, the independent cancer support charity based at West Middlesex University Hospital.

Every penny raised goes directly to The Mulberry Centre, which provides free emotional, psychological, and practical support to people living with cancer, their families, and those bereaved by cancer.

Visitors will find a carefully curated selection of handmade, sustainable and locally crafted gifts, ranging from jewellery, prints and artisan food to knitwear, floral creations, homewares, books and accessories. It’s an opportunity to shop thoughtfully while supporting both local talent and a vital community charity.

This year’s lineup features a broad array of local artisans and small businesses, including:

  • Amy Golledge – Fairly Amy
  • Charlotte Berridge – Charlotte Berridge Studio
  • Christine Eborall – Christine E Hats & Caps
  • Christine Mallinson – Artsi Glass
  • Harbans Sidhu – Harbs Snug Knits
  • Helen Cross – Custard Tart
  • Jennifer Estacio – Florals At No9
  • Liana Baghdasaryan – Caketivate
  • Libby Ewart – The Box Party
  • Lydia Evans – Lydia London
  • Maria Ribeiro – Maria Ribeiro
  • Natalia Bobrova – Natalia Gallery
  • Preeti Bhachu – Preeti Adorn / Preeti Woman Stylist
  • Sameena Khan – Taanga
  • Sangeeta Weatherley – Sans Art
  • Shaleni Vellayappan – QLEMONTINE
  • Sulekha Joyce – Ealing Book Tree
  • Syreeta Luckie – Silently Healing
  • Win Mensah‑Larbie – Winseye Collection
  • Yewande Rolph – Natural Fragrance Company

Together, they represent the range of Chiswick’s creative community, offering gifts that are unique, sustainable, and full of character.

The Mulberry Centre has been a lifeline for thousands of people affected by cancer across west London. Its services include counselling, complementary therapies, support groups, and practical advice — all provided free of charge.

Lydia Plews, Fundraising Lead at The Mulberry Centre, said, “We are extremely grateful to The Chiswick Business Network and all of the talented stallholders for supporting us. Community events like this not only raise vital funds but also help ensure people across our borough know that free cancer support is available to them when they need it most.”

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.
