The Brooklyn Markets are held quarterly, throughout the year on a Saturday from 12pm – 4pm. The Market dates for this year are 20 March, 26 June, 25 September and 11 December 2021. Catch up with friends and neighbours while browsing through a wide variety of stalls. Everything from homemade pickles, preserves and chutneys, to fresh produce, crafts, jewellery, art, soaps, eco products, candles, cards, vintage clothing, and lots more. Plus local knife sharpener, Andrew Bennett, will be on the deck sharpening knifes, scissors, and gardening tools.
Great coffee, smoothies, and juices from Juice on the Loose, a BBQ on the deck; plus for the kids, a giant bouncy castle in the playground.
Everybody welcome.
