The Remarkables Market is one of my favourite (and I’ve visited a few) markets around, the feeling of community is right there in the heart that makes this place beat. So much love goes into every. single. Saturday.

Families, kids, friends and newcomers all gather around coffee, bacon butties, plants and the mighty sandpit and always leave saying “see you next week?”.

A newly sealed visitor carpark so you can car share (more parks) or even better get the bus, walk there or get on your bike!

Pram and wheelchair friendly stones under the pergola. No more pushing but not getting anywhere you can now roll around the market as free as you like with the small ones in tow leaving your arms free to grab more stuff!

Lots of lovely recycled trees surrounding the market making for a beautiful place to sit and sip your morning coffee, gaze up at the Remarkables and listen to some live music.

You can use a cup and know it’s not going into the ground; use it, return it, it gets washed, use it again (I know you’ll be having two coffees) and leave feeling all smug! The Remarkables Market is all about doing as much as they can to help this small globe we inhabit.

And in the stalls section there will be long time faces; tea, baby and kids clothing, french bread and pastries, fresh fruit and veg, salmon, cheese, meats, empanadas and some newbies; soap, chocolate, candles, vietnamese food, hand woven gifts, pottery, turkish jewellery, art.
Treats for your grandma, lovely presents for your best friend, awesome delights for Christmas (just around the corner people) and always always something for you. Actually make that all of the above for you. It’s been a tough week.

Don’t be alone, come join!

Remarkables Market 2018-2019Remarkables Market 2018-2019 Remarkables Market 2018-2019The Remarkables Market is in my heart every single year. It’s grown from humble beginnings to a space where the community hums, you can feel it. There’s a buzz in the air, there’s laughter and smiles and dogs and coffee and whooping of joy from me, you and everyone there. Come settle in and hang out with us.
