The market will be held on the following dates & times:

Sunday 1st December 11.30am-7pm


Tasks will include:


Setting up and taking down market stalls
Assisting vendors and managing stalls
Greeting guests and providing friendly customer service

For those who can brave the cold, handing out flyers to promote the event


We understand that everyone has different skills and comfort levels, so we can help find a role that suits you best. Whether you prefer working behind the scenes or engaging with guests, there’s a place for you at our market!


This is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, share in the holiday spirit, and make a positive impact on the lives of children in need. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your energy and a willingness to help!


Come and be part of this heartwarming event that not only brings joy to the holiday season but also helps provide meals to those who need them most. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
