Our Pakenham Market is on again tomorrow!

With the cold and rainy weather upon us, our market teams often opt for an indoor setup, to keep everyone warm and comfortable ☔

Thanks to the lovely team at Living & Learning Inc - Skills & Wellbeing Centre in Pakenham, this now also applies at our Pakenham Market!

So if you ever find yourself in need of some fresh, affordable fruit and vegetables on a Thursday, you can find us inside the centre at 6B Henry St, from 8:30am-12:30pm 🤗

Pakenham, we’re heading indoors tomorrow!

Due to the rain and storms forecast for tomorrow, we will be sheltering indoors at Living & Learning Inc - Skills & Wellbeing Centre in Pakenham for our market this week!

Our markets go on, rain, hail or shine, so you’ll still be able to find us from 8:30am-12:30pm

See you tomorrow! ☔️
