Makers Demonstrations - This Saturday.

Origami ball making.

Amy from Willow Street is running a makers demonstration based around the art of making an origami ball from 12 simple units. These balls can be made from recycled book pages, wrapping paper or even christmas paper and are ideal as decorations for around the house.

Amy will be making DIY kits available for sale.

Summing-up Saturday's Market Spectacular...

The third Barn Market saw a fantastic throng of happy customers despite the rain and the dreary weather. It was warm and welcoming inside and bags were filled to the brim with an array of handmade and designed treats from our very talented Artisans.

It was an event for the senses: the spectacular colours and forms were a delight for the eyes while the aromas and tastes from the assortment of foods/beverages were delectable. It was tantalisingly tactile with so many mediums crafted into wares that you couldn’t help but touch. And, not to forget the cheerful tunes from our buskers and the excited chatter and ‘ooohh’s’ and ‘aaahhh’s’ that filled the air.

Finally, we would like to say a big thank you to Trace from ‘Soewn Earth’ for running two very successful makers demonstrations which saw crowds gathering to observe, ask questions and even take notes.

Now, make sure you have a pen in hand because we have some exciting news. Get your diary out…

Market #3 - THIS SATURDAY!!!

This Saturday’s Barn Market promises to be another jam-packed event, overflowing with a diverse range of beautiful treats. And, of course, there will be some aromatic coffee, delectable hot food and scrumptious baked goods on offer as well. You will be able to peruse an array of hand-crafted/designed wares including; adults clothing, children’s clothing and accessories, homewares, stationary, jewellery, fabrics, and lovely gift ideas.

And, as always, you’ll be serenaded whilst you shop, by the upbeat tunes of a wide variety of buskers both inside and out. So, why don’t you make it a family outing and not only come to peruse some hand made goodies, but take the chance to grab a snack and a drink and soak up the atmosphere. Clarence High School Band will be running the BBQ in an effort to fundraise for their band trip to New Zealand later in the year. They will be serving up eggs and bacon first thing in the morning with a sausage sizzle to follow later in the day.

Please note; there are plenty of seats in the courtyard for those in the family who are the ‘not-into-shopping’ type with undercover space available.
