Check out the website for the full list of stallholders that are already confirmed.
Rosie Green and Alexandra Webb are the Local Village Markets Directors and their ultimate goal is for the market to host community initiatives such as workshops, discussions, and activities to provide a way for locals to connect.
“We are working to create a lively community hub and want to ensure the Haig Park Village Market is not only a great place to get fresh produce for the week, but a place where people can spend the day, connect with each other, our stallholders, and learn about the food they eat.
Braddon is the perfect place to create this market and we are excited to have the support of
the ACT Government to deliver these markets in the beautiful Haig Park,” said Co-Director Rosie Green.
Contact Rosie and Alex via the Haig Park Village Markets website if you’re interested in being a stallholder.
