Taking place on Sunday, November 22 from 11.30am to 4pm the market in only its second year, will feature over fifty stalls and promises to be a stress free relaxing way of doing your pressie hunting. For just a gold coin entry, you too can sip on a free glass of bubbles or juice before perusing the wide array of stalls that include clothing, food, jewellery, shoes, baby products and hair accessories to name a few. Stalls will be spread over the ground floor at the Event Centre and upstairs, so be sure to check out both floors! This year there will also be a coffee lounge area so that you and your family can take a breather in between your shopping! With plenty of food available including sushi you can really make a day of it but be sure to bring plenty of cash as there is no eftpos available at the Event Centre.
