Since 2014, residents of Sandpits Road have got together on the third Sunday in May for a table top sale in their front gardens. From 2015, money has been raised by donation for Demelza Hospice Care for Children in Kent. We have raised upwards of £2200
The original idea was to evoke the days of yore when the Sandrock Inn was one of the last trading posts en route to London and the families in the workers’ cottages used to sell their wares over the fences of their homes. We thought that this was a great idea and it has brought residents together as a small community. Nowadays “wares” range from home made products such as knitted baby clothes, quilts, cakes, preserves and bread to bricabrac, plants and fresh eggs.
This year’s event takes place on Sunday 19 May 2019 from 10.30 – 2.30 you can follow us here https://www.facebook.com/SandpitsRoad/ and on Twitter https://twitter.com/sandpitsroad
