FACEBOOK FEEDS
We’re so lucky to have the wonderful and supportive Phillipstown Community Hub as our venue! Thanks to them, we can offer cosy indoor and undercover spaces for our stallholders and a provide a great place for everyone to relax and eat while enjoying the entertainment. This is a true community event—unique, inclusive, and welcoming to all.
The weather is looking a bit dodgy this weekend, but we’ve got a wet weather plan up our sleeves. You can follow the market on Facebook for any updates (including weather-related ones) before Saturday.
So, come along and try something different. There will be a few Halloween and feta-shaped surprises and plenty of spots for conversations and places to sit and enjoy your meal. And we'll have top-notch musical entertainments from Floyd, Porp and Pinky, and Piyush!
Please note we have switched to summer hours this month, so the Mākete will run from 5 PM to 8 PM.
