We have waited four long months for this day and its going to be a big beautiful celebration of our mighty community spirit , just in time for Christmas.
Well done to our stallholders, volunteers and crew on your resilience. We look forward to seeing you all soon.
We have a very full market, bursting at the seams with a few new artisans and crafters joining us, which is great to see.
If for whatever reason you cant attend as a stallholder when you have booked, please email or call us today to advise. We have over 30 casuals on our waiting list keen to attend, so let me know asap so another can take your place.
15 December marks the day when NSW opens up to everyone (vaxed and non vaxed). Be aware we will have many visitors from the big cities visiting our market. The Covid rules may have relaxed by Covid has not, so please continue to wear a mask when you can’t distance and use sanisizer. Hot food stalls still need to distance people 1.5m waiting in line so please bring your ground markers. Click here to read the new Government rules from 15.12.21. Your vigilance will help keep our community safe.
Because of the influx of Covid cases on the mid north coast and because we attract many, we will continue the QR code sign in. thanks
We are very proud and excited to finally present our inclusive event every month from here on in. With over 260 diverse stalls we have something for everyone, including a good mix of delicious food and coffee.
It’s definitely the place to be every 3rd Saturday of the month.
