Sunday 4th July

Liz Gentilcore will be holding a Fairtrade stall from 3-5pm,at Ye Olde Rose & Crown pub in Walthamstow. She will mainly be selling Fair Trade, Zaytoun products from Palestine and also she’s going to trial extending the stall to cover other Fair trade products, starting with Divine chocolate. The chocolate will be sold at cost price (so a bargain!) and as usual, the Zaytoun products have a small mark up and all proceeds go to her local Waltham Forest PSC group. The pub is on Hoe St, not far from the tube and High St, opposite the old cinema. This is a great opportunity and we hope it will now run monthly.

Friday 2nd – Sunday 4th July

Jewish comedian Ivor Dembinawill present his one-man show ‘This Is Not A Subject For Comedy, which charts his own transformation from pro-Israeli North London schoolboy to prominent anti-Zionist and supporter of Jews for Justice for Palestinians. Dembina’s show was staged in the Houses of Parliament shortly before the election - “the seat, the very birthplace, of hypocrisy – I mean, democracy”, as Ivor put it. “Dembina’s love for Jewish humanism and humour, and his sadness as that tradition is bulldozed by Zionism, are more sonorous than any division bell.” - Brian Logan in The Guardian.

The Granary, 7:00pm . £5 (Frome Festival Event no. 111)
