PATHWAYS
At the April market we will be experimenting with some minor changes to the market lay-out. Don’t be alarmed this will only affect 1 or 2 stalls. We will be creating a break in the long double line of stalls that runs from the big camphor near the music down to the bend in the river. This break/pathway will cut roughly-speaking from the expresso stall through toward the tennis courts. The purpose of this is to entice more market-goers through to the back of the market – where the new Creative Kids Corner will be.
CREATIVE KIDS CORNER
This will be a cluster of permanent and casual stalls that offer products and interactive activities for kids. It will begin Sat 20 April.
THEMES
From the April market, each market will have a theme. Themes will be related to the broad theme of the Mullum Market, which is all things sustainable, creative, and quirky!
April theme: Creative Kids: The launch of a new & exciting feature of Mullum Market: the Creative Kids Corner.
May theme: Ukulele Fiesta! Uke lessons, uke orchestra, uke-making workshops, 100% locally-made ukes for sale, and more!
June theme: Open to suggestions! Organic Gardening???
July theme: Open to suggestions! Pottery and sculpture???
