Wed & Thu 10am-5pm; Fri 10am-7pm; Sat 8am-5pm at Market
Hall, Borough Market, 8 Southwark Street; free
Borough Market will be providing culinary inspiration from
Northern Ireland to celebrate St Patrick's Day in the
capital, with guest traders setting up shop in the Market
Hall to sell some of the best Northern Irish delicacies
available. There'll be all the ingredients to make a
legendary Ulster fry: from Cavanagh free-range eggs,
produced from hens which forage amongst oak, ash and
chestnut trees in County Fermanagh, to freshly baked soda
farls and potato bread. For a healthier (but equally
delicious) breakfast, White's traditionally milled porridge
oats from will be on sale from one of Northern Ireland's
oldest brands. Add to that Irish black butter, artisan
triple cream cheese and award-winning rapeseed oil, and
visitors won't be disappointed in the ingredients available.
For a regional tipple, Shortcross Gin, Northern Ireland's
first premium craft gin - inspired by the surrounding
forests and gardens at Rademon Estate in Co. Down - will be
on sale. Botanicals include foraged wild clover, local green
apples and elderberries all combined with fresh water from
the estate well.

Thursday 15 to Monday 19 March
Presentation Thu 7pm-9pm; exhitition Fri 10am-7pm & Sat
1pm-5pm at Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre, 108 Stamford
Street
Coin Street Community Builders invites you to give your
views on design proposals for Bernie Spain Gardens north
(the part of the gardens between Upper Ground and the
river). During 2016 Coin Street carried out consultation
about its aspirations to improve the gardens. Based on this,
a design brief to create a public open green space of high
quality and sustainability was created and in 2017 a
landscape design competition was launched for the north part
of the gardens. Improvements to the planting in the south
part of the gardens are already under way. Five competition
entrants have been shortlisted: (Bradley-Hole Schoenaich
Landscape; J & L Gibbons; Kinnear Landscape Architects;
Reynolds Design; and West 8). Their outline proposals are
now ready for further consultation. On Thursday from 7pm
there will be a presentation by each of the shortlisted
landscape designers, and an opportunity to ask questions and
feed back views and comments. The designs will also be on
display on Friday and Saturday.
