Waimate is planning to become a weekend market town, building
on the success of its Sunday Farmers Market.
An arts and crafts market will be held on Saturdays starting
from November 7 at the same venue as the Farmers Market, the
Waimate District Council car park.
The new market is being overseen by Pro-Ject Waimate, and the
plan is to shift the existing arts and crafts market from the
Waimate Knitwear site to the council car park in a bid to
lift its profile.
Pro-Ject Waimate co-ordinator Sheryl Frew said people had
wanted to have stalls at the Farmers Market, but could not do
so because of strict criteria, including the rule that all
produce must be grown locally.
The arts and crafts market would be open to anyone.
The aim is to hold the new market on Saturday between 9am and
noon, with the Farmers Market continuing on Sundays.
