Christmas Twilight Market
The Carseldine Christmas Twilight Market is on Saturday 28 November from 4 pm to 10 pm at the same address. It also runs rain, hail or shine.
Making a morning of it
The market is open for six hours, from 6 am to 12 pm, so you do not have to rush. Early arrivals get the first pick of the fresh produce, and the seating and relaxing area is there for a coffee and something cooked on the spot once the shopping is done.
Kids are catered for too: the organiser lists activities for children and live music, so the market suits a family outing as well as a quick grocery run. Because entry and parking are both free, the only costs are what you buy from the stalls.
It is a growers and makers market. The organiser says stalls are run by the people who grow, bake, cook and make the goods, so you can ask them about what is in season right now.
