Byron Markets Announces Licence for Lennox Community Market Will Not Be Renewed

Lennox Head, February 2024 – Byron Markets regrets to announce that it will not be renewing the licence of the Lennox Community Market, with its fnal event scheduled for Sunday 31st March.

After two years of operation, following dedicated efforts and support from stallholders and community members, fnancial constraints have necessitated this unfortunate decision. Despite exploring various strategies, including fee adjustments and outreach initiatives, maintaining ongoing operations has proven unsustainable.

The Lennox Community Market served not only as a marketplace but also as a central hub for the community, fostering small businesses, engaging tourists, entertaining musicians and nurturing relationships.

“We extend our sincere appreciation to all stallholders, community members and partners whose commitment enriched the Lennox Community Market, infusing it with vibrancy and vitality,” says Graham Double, Markets Manager. “Their dedication has been fundamental to the market, and we are deeply grateful for their contributions.”

This period of Lennox

Community Market marks a transition, while other market experiences in our community, including the Byron Community Market, Byron Beachside Market and Byron Twilight Market, will continue to thrive as symbols of our local culture and commerce.

Byron Markets thanks all who contributed to the Lennox Community Market and look forward to seeing the spirit of community fourish in other market settings.
