Big big thanks to all those lovely customers who helped the market wade through winter.

We know who you are and think highly of you.

While the rest of us on these archipelago of islands are waking up to a new season called SPRING, we too at this country market on Friday mornings are shaking off the chill and getting ready for another super season of markets.

WHAT’S TO LOOK FORWARD TO?

As Spring creeps in so do all the seasonal and summer stallholders - not so much creep but run! Heaps of wonderful seasonal things like GARDEN SEEDLINGS, garden plants, garden decorations,PRACTICAL STUFF like knife sharpening, brilliant bespoke artisan crafts, CLASSY & COOL things to wear and use, unique HANDCRAFTED jewellery and new season vegetables and summer food stallholders - in addition to our regular line up of brillient, world class, exceptional local & regional regular food artisans.

Note: We move into summer set up from late Sept or early October - so the next few weeks are packed with Spring bursting at the seams.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE ON FRIDAYS!

We operate every Friday morning 9 til 12.30.

8.30 for early bird shoppers

FYI Practical stuff:  Operation Market:

We close  at 12.30pm with the ring of a bell!
Hear it? When you hear this at the market it means  pack up time, this bell is for the stallholders and maybe  for  you. It tells them its ok to pack up and drive into the market space. So please be aware and considerate. Vehicles get in the mix and that means you should take care and vacate the courtesy OFM  seating/tables.  Stallholders and staff are often eager to go home at the end of the market after having started work in the little hours, if you want to linger you are welcome and you can use the domain tables available, please also dispose of your own rubbish.
Thanks for helping the market run smoothly.   
  
 Customers parking .... Summer: Arrive early for easy access parking in the adjacent hall car park or in the domain car park. You can also park along Whites and west end of Mill Road.  Take care when parking along the verges and please respect our neighbours bits of grass and mailboxes.   Winter: You park outside the market area, in the adjacent carpark which is set up for you, and along the verges pref along Whites Road when possible and not in neighbours driveways:)

Please do not park in the domain itself this is for stallholder parking only.

Special needs car parking is normally available at the gatehouse off Whites Rd, but you need to be early. 
  
We provide an EFTPOS facility for limited cash withdrawals, we are not a bank, but perhaps we should work on that. 

Most stallholders have their own EFTPOS/device payment systems and all accept cash. BUT do BYO cash in case.

EFTPOS open from 8.30/9am and normally closes at noon. 

Some folks love all animals  they might make great companions but do not make great market friends when there is a lot of food around and when in winter set up. Keep it on a short leash or out of harms way. This is not something we  debate.
