MALDON MOVES BACK HOME
Maldon Market is on the move and will be heading back to the original site at Maldon Neighbourhood Centre (MNC).
The Market has had a long history, with many community members contributing to its growth.
Over a decade ago, it was a small community market where a working group sourced funding to re-brand it into a bigger event, offering a broader range of stalls with a focus on local sustainable products and had a 'Hand Made Home Grown' philosophy.
Fountain Street and the Maldon municipal gardens were decided for a new site.
Over the years, the market grew, attracting thousands of visitors and when COVID hit, the market shut down, with a new site being needed.
The Bill Woodfull Recreation Reserve (BWRR) came to the rescue.
Now in mid 2022, the market is leaving BWRR and heading back to its original location.
This exciting event will feature all your favourite stalls, and an array of new ones.
There will be sourdough bread, cheese, wine, spices, honey, nuts, chocolate, olive oil, pickles and spreads, seasonal fruit and vegetables, plants, cleaning goods, and health products.
There will be plenty of places to enjoy a hot drink or lunch from delicious food makers, while listening to local talent and browsing the products on offer.
For more information, Market Manager, Lynn McShanag at market@maldonnc.org.au or 0493 368 443.
Where: Maldon Neighbourhood Centre, Church Street, Maldon.
