Your vehicle should be safely loaded with the merchandise you wish to sell as we do not permit extra products to be brought in after your car has entered the grounds, the car is then to be removed once it’s unloaded and can be parked in any available street parking, subject to parking restrictions. If in doubt please ask one of the site managers.

Upon entering the grounds you will show your payment receipt, which you will have ready to save time. All site require prepayment prior to arrival.

Once you have entered the grounds one of the site managers will lead you and your vehicle to your stall location, which you will be responsible for until the end of the market day.

Please note any illegal, pirated or otherwise naughty items will be confiscated and/or you will be asked to leave the market.

We advise sellers to have a cash float, generally a mix of coins and small notes as buyers like to all have $50 notes and expect everyone to have change. Management will not have any cash available for change.

A good TIP for the day is be nice and friendly to everyone and greet everyone with a smile.
