Time to get excited!

With less than 2 weeks to go until our first market of the year, things are beginning to get exciting.  It's all coming together and there is an amazing spectrum of makers on board this time around.

With a bit of a different twist this time around, we'll be spread right around the glorious Rosny Farm grounds creating a very festive feel.  More details to come soon.....

First round of applications due...

The first round of applications for new stall holders close on Sunday 27th January 2013.  If you wish to apply, please email thebarnmarket@gmail.com to request an application kit.

Also, we are very keen to hear from anyone interested in busking at our markets.  We are particularly interested in solo artists or small groups who provide upbeat background music that would be appropriate for a shopping environment.  Please get in touch with us - we would love to chat to you.

Our first market for the year will be held on Saturday, 2nd March from 10:00 - 3:00.  This market will be a little different from usual in that it will be held entirely outside taking up every last inch of outside area.  We will not be utilising The Barn at all, but rather creating an Autumn Festival Atmopshere; very exciting.  Stay tuned for more details soon...

It's that time of year again...

Well, the countdown is on and the preparations are in full swing.  In 2 and a half weeks, The Barn Market will hold it's bumper Christmas Market.  As usual, we'll be chock-o-block with all of your favourite stallholders who will be bursting at the seams with plenty of goodies to stuff your Christmas stockings with.  The Barn Market is your one-stop Christmas shopping stop.  Put it in your diary.  We can't wait to see you there...

2 weeks to go!!!!!

Come and join us!!

'Christmas in July' Twilight Market

Our annual special event; 'Christmas in July' Twilight Market is coming up.

We'd like to draw your attention to the competitions we'll be running on the night.  You won't want to miss these as winners will receive a hamper full of stallholder goodies.

1) Create the best decoration: Design your own paper star decoration (no bigger than 15cm's diameter).  On the back, write your name, email address and either 'under 16' or 'over 16'.  Bring it along and hang it up in the entryway (we'll provide a hole puncher and string).  The best decoration from each age group will win a prize.

2) Vote for the best presented stall:  Our stallholders have exquisite products that they hand make and design right here in Tasmania, and this time we've asked them to go all out and present their wares with a a bit of Christmas cheer.  You chose the best presented stall - nothing too cheesy, just a little something to make you feel merry and bright and add a little christmas cheer to your night.  Someone who votes for the stallholder with the most points will win a prize - and the stallholder who is voted 'best stall' of the night will also win a prize.

You've got to be in it to win it.  See you there...
