The laneway on Woongarra St is set to become a stage for a range of small businesses showcasing their handmade products in a new market gig.
The idea was actualised by the current businesswomen calling the laneway home and inspired by the preloved markets, organised by Wonderland Movement, previously held there.
Jane Hart Photography, St Blonde, Stephanie Partridge Hair Stylist and Amanda Gear Makeup and Brow Artistry are all still working from the laneway, while Wonderland Movement has found a new home at 31 Bingera St.
Jane Hart said the new Handmade Markets would see 20 stalls line the laneway, 10 on each side, with a local musician set to entertain market attendees.
In a matter of three days the stalls have nearly been completely booked out.
She said there were still four stalls available for anyone interested in joining the first of many markets.
The list of stallholders are:
- Willow and Hide
- S&S Earth Blends
- Cake Sera Sera
- Bella Botanic
- Sacred Sounds
- Jaimee McLeod Art
- Stuff n Candles
- Blooming Bespoke
- Ettie and Dorrie
- The Candle Cafe
- Lady Kastel Kollective
- Mia Hart Designs
- Life’s Flame
- Kokonut-nq
- Bobins and Squeaks
- Jelly Bean Jane
Ms Hart said there were plenty of creative people in the region – and now you can meet some of them.
She said they hoped to hold a handmade market once a month, alternating between Thursday night and Sunday mornings.
The first handmade market will be held on Thursday, August 28, from 4.30–7pm.
Stall fees are $20 and you must have your own public liability.
If you are interested in having a stall at the markets, you can reach out via email lanewayonwoongarra@hotmail.com or the Laneway on Woongarra’s Instagram page.
The Laneway on Woongarra is located at 53 Woongarra St.
