Penrose Market: Let The Christmas Markets Commence!



Christmas comes early TODAY courtesy of students at London’s world class design and media university college, Ravensbourne.

The college – situated ideally by The o2 – today has final-year undergraduates partake in the annual Penrose Market event, where students actually showcase and sell the fruits of their past three years labour.

There’s crafted Xmas cards for chums; to cute cushions and knitted wear for nana! Jewellery for the lovely lady; to personalised tees and other prints for the egoistical Mr!

There’s even eco-friendly recycled goods stalls to alleviate any guilt induced by indulgence shopping; and what’s more is that a number of these stalls will make a donation from their profits to charity; so it’s well worthy a cause.

Prices according to Ravensbourne, will reflect the economic climate; ie, quality products at student prices, so if you’re feeling a little hesitant on the finance part; today may save you a few quid, before you have to resort to getting something for the youngsters in the extortionate high street Xmas build up (and spend a lot more).

The college’s Penrose Market promises to offer something for everyone, Penrose Market opens from 12-6; but is for ONE DAY ONLY, therefore if you want to grab a bargain from some of tomorrow’s certain leading figure’s of media, design and fashion, then it’s well worth jumping on the tube to North Greenwich.

Ravensbourne’s young professionals between them have a series of accolades to their name, including awards from leading car manufacturer Audi; to The Graduate Awards; to the prestigious Royal Society of Arts. Key Alumni include Bruce Oldfield, Stella McCartney and Kevin Carrigan; so rest assured you are in safe hands, and will quite likely be grabbing a bargain today, worth quite some times more in a couple of years!

Get down to Penrose Market, and support our young aspirants!

Address is Ravensbourne, 6 Penrose Way, London SE10 0EW. Nearest Station, North Greenwich. For more info see www.penrosemarket.co.uk
