Held on the third Saturday of each month at the old Gravel Hill School at 65-71 Mundy St, the indoor-outdoor market has about 50 stalls in total and runs from 9am to 2pm.
The Gravel Hill market, which has been run by the Salvation Army since Christmas, features a variety of outdoor stalls, plants, brick-a-brack and food stalls.
The handmade market, which is held in the church hall, has been running since May, although Saturday’s market is only its second because of a break in June.
Stallholders in the handmade market sell a little bit of everything, including handmade clothing, jams, jewellery, baby goods, cards, candles and soaps.
Plaster painting, face painting, a children's playground, a jumping castle, scones and a barbecue are other family-friendly activities available to market goers.
Founder and handmade children's clothing maker Jo Elwers said she had always wanted to run a market.
“When the opportunity for the hall came up, it went from there," she said.
“I wanted to make it an outlet where people could sell their goods but not at a massive outlay for the stall."
