Hi Maccy community!
Myself (Eleanor) and Bella Gazard have recently taken over coordinating the Macclesfield market and we wanted to hear from YOU about what you want from YOUR community market.
First up, I will share some of our ideas and plans so far...
- FREE community art and craft workshops at the market. At the moment I am organizing the workshops but if there are any artists or makers in the community who would like to volunteer their time to run a workshop, we would love to hear from you. The market can cover the cost of materials for the workshop up to $100 and also offer you a free stall to sell your art or craft. Email [email protected] if you are interested.
- Community lunches in the supper room. We are cooking simple, delicious and affordable lunches in the kitchen during the market. Come along and join us and meet neighbours and friends!
- Music - We have 3 x1.5 hour time slots for musicians to come and play outside the market. This is a paid gig of $30 for each time slot. If you would like to play, email me at [email protected]
- More produce stalls. Think fresh bread, local veggies, oils, olives, preserves etc. If you are a local producer and would like a stall, please email [email protected] We want to support our local food producers!
- Youth stalls - Do you have a creative young person between 8-18 yrs old who would like a stall? We can cover your public liability insurance (no food or beauty products).
- Seed swap table - Is there anyone in the community already doing this? If so, would you like to organise a seasonal seed swap table at the market?
Over to you...
We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas. What would bring you to your community market?
We would love to make the market into a meeting place for the community to connect and support each other.
