A steady stream of curious Southlanders perused the aisles at the weekend, seeking bespoke arts and crafts.
"People are out and about and it’s going really well", Crafters@Latitude Market president Wendy Butler said. "We have about four vendors who are not from Invercargill and there’s a woman who came from Teviot who does jams and chutneys."

"This is the first crafters market that I’ve ever done and I was quite nervous at first, but I’ve got a good feeling now", Ms Matehe said.


"People come up to me and ask if I can make them something out of their blankets and I tell them to just text me."
Trish Monaghan travelled from Reefton to sell a mix of wares, including her friend Marcus Peters’ gourmet seasoning from The Original Smoke & Spice Company.
"I’m here selling the Original Smoke & Spice sea salt . . . [it’s] sold in markets all over."
