Canalway Cavalcade 2014 ... Little Venice

On the 3rd of this month I went to Canalway Cavalcade festival in Little Venice, London, W2. I think it was probably the first weekend in a while where the sun was shining and there were no signs of dreaded rain clouds.

The festival is on every year and it's just a short walk up from Warwick Avenue underground station. It's set alongside the canal near Little Venice and is full of pretty canal boats and decorated with lots of bunting. There's lots going on with an array of food options such as Caribbean and mixed grill. We chose the Mexican option and got a huge mixed bean wrap with all the trimmings, all washed down with a pint of sangria (A PINT OF SANGRIA!). The guy serving it up even informed us that he had made it himself with extra rum! There was also a tent for afternoon tea including gluten free cakes for those in need.










There were lots of cute stalls selling jewellery, hand made soaps and pretty kimonos as well as a band playing on an island in the middle of the water.

This was the first time I've been to this little gem but will definitely head back next year if the sun is out to play again!

Hope you're all looking forward to a fun and sunny extended weekend. I'm off to spend it in a luxury lodge for my best friend's hen party! xx
