For centuries, millennia even, people have turned to the local marketplace to sell, purchase, or trade goods and services. Open air public markets are said to have been around since ancient times in Babylonia, Greece, Egypt, and China.

Markets are a wonderful way to highlight the artisans in our community, as well as bolster our treasure troves, and we are now seeking stallholders for GNW 2026.
There will be no additional charge for market stallholders to book a market stall space (3m x 3m). There is some space for merchants to camp in Merchants Row near the Village Green, which is allocated by priority order of booking.
There are 4 spots available under a covered pavilion – these are available to market stallholders who are travelling interstate, wishing to have a stall on Market Day only.
If you are interested in having a stall, please contact our Markets Coordinator – The Honorable Lady Argyle de Argenten via email argyle069@gmail.com Please include the subject line “GNW 2026 MARKET”.
