Welcome to Bellingen Community Markets 🙂
Hi ho, hi ho, its off to market we go !
Saturday 15 March 2025 Bellingen Community Markets comes alive with everything good as we share a diverse selection of wonderful stalls, delicious food drinks, coffee, and so much more. There is always something for everyone.
Hope all is well with you and yours over the stormy wacky weather and you didn’t suffer. Some people are still flooded in and we wish them all the best in getting back to some kind of normal. After a week and a half of heavy rain we are blessed to finally get a few dry days, allowing us to go ahead. A much needed market and social engagement for many.
The park is slowly drying out, alas some areas are wetter than others, so please don’t drive on soggy ground and test it first. Its also a good idea to bring some carpet, or ground cover to keep your and customers feet dry. We will have a couple of bales of sugar cane for those who need some. We will do our best to clean up the park and have it safely accessible to all. I will be checking the park again tomorrow to get the final AOK to go ahead, so stay tuned. Please always check our Facebook page for updates, especially before you leave. AND dont forget….. always come prepared for all weather and situations.
Our musician this month is Yarrow, a singer/songwriter from the northern beaches of NSW. Her songs are rich with textures of folkish soul and unique silkie vocals that enchant audiences into a vibe. Yarrow will be on the main stage from 10am – 2pm. Chrysalis Steiner School are our community group and will welcome you at the gates.
Our market is a ray of sunshine in amongst some dark past times. We unite and celebrate our fantabulous community and people, all beaming with resilience, determination, optimism and love, all for the greater good. You gotta love it !
Keep on keeping on and look forward to seeing you soon.

STALLHOLDER PROCEDURES
Casual stallholders please click here to find out what to do on market day.
As a permanent stallholder you should know what to do, but if unsure, please re-read our Terms and Conditions
It’s important we’re on the same page and know what to do. It makes the day run smoothly and pleasant for all. It’s important to us that YOU have a positive experience at Bellingen Community Markets and want to return. We value your thoughts, so your feedback is encouraged and welcome.
VERY IMPORTANT
Due to a very wet ground, there is no stalls on the north side of footy oval and there is only one path through E and F sections, with one furniture stall in middle of E. Stallholders in these sections can park behind their stall to unload and pack up, but its vital you stay away from footy oval. There is a game next weekend, and we don’t want to mess up the oval. Thanks for your understanding and kind cooperation.
Sadly Gradda leaves us
Gradda Lewis has been a long standing stallholder of Bello Markets and is hanging up her bags and scarfs for some adventure. Gradda moved from Sydney in August 2003 and started the markets in Sept/October that year. 25 years later ,she has decided its time to travel. Gradda has always been a pleasure to deal with and will be sadly missed by many BUT we all wish her an awesome time.
BELLINGEN COMMUNITY MARKETS, not just a marketplace, but a great place to be!
