Hi All, the market is on hold for Winter we will let you know when it is up and running again, thanks to everyone for supporting a great market.

Bye for now, the committee.

  ----------------------------------------

so who's coming:    

Kids bring along your wheelbarrows full of whatever you need to buy sell or swap, we will have a special section called "Kids Trading Zone", special tax incentives apply (joke), only $5:00 a barrow, join the frenzy and get some bucks. For kids only.

 

Local produce, local arts, local farmers, local community groups, all are welcome, the process is easy and fast to apply, the venue (Bellbrae Primary School) is local, versatile and all money raised goes directly to the school. Please email your interest to the CONTACT address below and we will follow up ASAP. 

Regards, 'The Committee

The $5:00 deal !!!!

Bring along your WHEELBARROW full of produce, veggies, yummy stuff or whatever you have made or grown, and get into the action at Bellbrae Produce Market. For the people who have a small veggie patch and too much produce, for the kids who have 'cow pat compost', for the lemon tree that is 'over productive', come on down every 4th Sunday and for $5:00 get a spot and start trading your produce, no need to book a space, just turn up. 

Good luck see you all there.

News:      May 2007

Due to Winter weather we are going to move up the road to the Bellbrae hall, this will be a good move and ensure the continuity of the market, so come on down and check it out.

 

News:      October 2006
 
Well the first market happened last Sunday and what a day, the weather was perfect, (ordered by Marie) and the subsequent turn out was amazing, 24 stalls and 5 wheel-barrows, music by Raff in the food court and lots of stalls sold out of produce. 'Busy as Bourke street they say', we had quite a few stalls roll up on the day, sell out of stock and move on. 'Where is the Mushroom Man?', everyone is asking, 'He's sold out and gone home', but he'll be back next time with 3 times the stock!!!!
 
The produce sold very well, and next market we are intending to have alot more product and more variety to cater to the throngs of eager market goers'.
 
The food court was a winner, grab a coffee, have a bite to eat, listen to some fine music, bask in the sunshine and soak up all that atmosphere. Kids, families and stallholders all had a great day, so let's do it again and we'll see you on the 26th of November.
 
We will have some pic's soon so standby by for a visual feast in the coming weeks.
