Ms MarmiteLover opens up her home for an after work food rave round a bonfire, and a daytime farmers and craft market.

There will be bars, live music, hot food stalls, crafts, food to buy to take home. Saturday afternoon they'll be hosting the foodie 'dragon's den' in which start up entrepreneurs in the food world can show their products to an expert panel and get feedback.

This is a farmer's market held in a two bedroom flat and garden, a market held in a domestic house. It's buzzy and exciting, unlike the dreary markets held in carparks and municipal spaces. There is plenty of talent to discover, from urban food producers to exquisite crafts and cooking demonstrations.Ms MarmiteLover herself will be selling signed copies of her fabulous book (read our interview with her about it here)as well as her own homemade mulled wine and salted caramel.

There will be a bonfire, a cocktail bar on the ironing board, plenty of urban producers and foragers. You can eat, drink, hangout and learn something too from the food demonstrations in the kitchen.
