Are tables provided for stallholders?
If you’re booking outside, no. You will need to bring your own shelter/tables/gear. If you book inside you will have the option to book a table space (table provided) or a clothing rack. Larger spaces include multiple options for tables/racks.
Is the market secondhand only or do you have craft stalls too?
The Pickers Market is a curation of BOTH secondhand AND craft. We cater to local preloved collectors with excess treasures that need re-homing and budding creatives to show off their talents.
Do you have clothing racks to hire?
Yes! We have clothing racks available to hire which are included in most bookings. Please note you will need to supply your own coat hangers.
What if it’s raining?
The market is on indoors rain or shine. In the unlikely event that the market is completely cancelled we will notify on our Instagram and Facebook.
Do stallholders have Eftpos?
CASH IS KING, please make sure to bring cash if you are wanting to make a purchase as only a small amount of stalls will have bank transfer and very few will have eftpos. There is no cash out on site and the nearest dairy is 1KM away.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, dogs are allowed outside and with and array of stalls, food and entertainment outdoors it is a fun spot to hang at Pickers. Please only service animals are allowed in the hall. We usually have a water bowl set up by the yellow daisies to the left of the hall entrance.
Are there toilets available?
Yes, toilets are located in the front lobby of the hall, males to the left and females to the right.
I’ve borrowed a mug for my coffee, can I take my mug/coffee home with me?
We operate a zero-waste honesty system at market: borrow a plate/mug for food, return it to be washed or take it home and leave a gold coin to help us replace it.
Is the market family friendly?
Yes! We have something for all ages, as well as a playground and when the weather is nice we have lawn games and a picnic area. We provide these extra touches with the trust that kids will be supervised and items won’t get stolen or damaged to ensure they are left to be enjoyed by more families in future. Thanks!
Is there mobility parking/access?
If you need accessibility parking please come to the main car park on Barry St where there is a section of car park dedicated to accessibility parking and a 5 min drop-off point. To enter the hall please follow the path around the right of the entrance as there is a ramp at the back door near the Clyde St alleyway.
Where can I park my bike?
Unfortunately there is no dedicated bicycle parking on site but there are fences surrounding the property and a ramp at the back of the hall that bicycles can be locked to, if you need any assistance please ask a volunteer in pink high vis. Motorbikes are also welcome to enter the main car park on Barry St and park by the yellow daisy garden/hall side of the car park -please do not park on the footpath or grass.
Are there public transport options?
There are no buses operating on a Sunday.
