Wanstead Fringe Jumble Trail 2023

The popular Wanstead Fringe Jumble trail is back!  The original, biggest and best local trail returns on Saturday 23 September bringing Jumble Trail fans to Wanstead from all over East London.

The Jumble Trail offers a brilliant opportunity to clear out your wardrobe and free up some space in the toy cupboard – assuming you dare to open it! It also provides a great excuse to get out there and meet the neighbours, steal ideas for your garden, and just have a general wander around the area. Who knows who you might meet – or what you might find? And this year, the Trail aims to be more eco-friendly than ever, reflecting society’s growing sense of environmental awareness.

There will be a Central Hub behind the Corner House on Wanstead High Street, where you’ll also be able to pick up a Jumble Trail Map and visit several stalls – from here we are encouraging visitors to head off on foot or bike and use our map to visit gardens and drives full of goodies across Wanstead. 

There is a £5 charge for taking part in the trail.

(Apologies but all the space at the Corner House has been allocated.)
