MARKET VENDOR
CONTRACT & APPLICATION

We love partnering with likeminded businesses to make our market days the wonderful day out that they are.

Our Market days are always a wonderful day filled with country vibes, fresh air, beautiful scenery, lots of talking, eating, coffee and of course shopping, shopping and more shopping, and maybe just a little bit of pampering too! 

We have ladies travelling from all over the country for these gorgeously themed days, which is pretty cool!  We get so much wonderful feedback from customers about our selection of stallholders and about how special and unique our market days are.

We hand pick our vendors each market to ensure we continue to deliver high quality markets that suit the given theme.
