Waipu street market expands to 100 stalls

Such is the popularity of the market, the Waipu Business and Promotion Group have arranged to utilise part of the Caledonian Park grounds and the Celtic Barn overhang to create space for a further 50 market stalls for the Queens Birthday Markets on Sunday June 4.

Coupled with the current street venue this allows for a greatly expanded market of up to 100 stalls, including family entertainment of a bouncy castle, live music, food stalls and displays.

New stall holders not previously seen at the market include leather handbags, jewellery, fashion, wood furniture, pottery, lavender, and community groups.

A feature of the market will be the large number of Northland crafted products and art showing.

The change from Saturday to Sunday has been made so that the street market does not compete with other district markets and to allow participation by a greater diversity of stall holders.

Non-profit community groups are provided free stall space and the Queen’s Birthday Sunday market will include St John Ambulance and school stalls.

Other local non-profit community groups interested in a stall should email streetmarket@waipu.kiwi
