Our church, St Mary Magdalene on Trinity Rd opposite the cricket ground, will hire them to you for a reasonable fee. You can contact thru the website.
Hariette S
Thank you for the suggestions Krupa & Sally . Tried the church but, unfortunately, they already have a booking for that day.  Will now try the Council but if anyone knows of any other local churches that rent out tables, please let me know.

Wouldn't it be fantastic to hear again, like the good old days, the drums and  trumpets of the parading scouts along Bolingbroke Grove! Don't forget the Northcote Road summer fete on the 7th July.
