6th February Market Applications open!

Crafty peeps, start your engines!

Applications are now open for the 6th February Northside Makers Market

Just click on the link above to use our funky online application form.

Things to note:

• The process is not first in best dressed, but rather local artisans, members, community centers and first time stallholders get first consideration. In the interests of representing Melbourne's northern suburbs we've defined 'north' as the cities of Yarra, Darebin and Moreland.

• Remembering how hot the start of February was last year the running times for this market have been changed to 9:30am to 2:30pm. This allows shoppers to visit the market before the day gets too hot and means those with outdoor stalls won't be roasting on High St all afternoon. The different time will be listed on the February market poster, our advertisements and all online promotions.

• Please be mindful of your 2 x 2mtr space restrictions with indoor and outdoor stalls. Don't be offended if we ask you to take down a rack or stand because it impinges on other stalls.


• Outdoor stall applicants need to be prepared for four seasons in one day! As the market will be going ahead, come rain hail or shine........

Also please do not forget to email through images of your products to northsidemakers [at] gmail.com. Images need to be under 500kb each. If you have had a stall with us before, no need to email pictures again unless your product range has changed.

We look forward to seeing all the fabulous new things you've made over Christmas and the new year and having another fantastic market day for all.........

Applications now open...............

Ladies and gents, get your engines started! The applications for our

November 28th market are open

Apply Now

We've had an overwhelming amount of interest for the November market and have taken on board your responses to our survey on opening hours, stall fees and advertising.
A big thank-you to all the October stall holders who filled out our "very quick" survey yesterday. Having your comments and thoughts allows us to make informed decisions.

For this market application, we have decided to offer it TOTALLY online.

No paper or printing required...Why?

Apart from saving the trees and the hip pocket on printing costs, it also cuts down on the manual data entry at our end and allows the committee to easily consolidate information ... (as we can suck the data into a spreadsheet and do funky things with it ... can you tell that one of us is in I.T?)

Planning meeting at the Wesley Anne ...

I'm sure that you'll agree the new application process is much more agreeable than trying to work with PDFs and word documents.

If you have any questions don't hesitate in dropping us a line northsidemakers@gmail.com

Otherwise .... let's get this party started!

Northside Makers Markets: Summer 2009/2010

Market Dates for Summer 2009/10

28th November 2009
6th February 2010
13th March 2010
The first market stall application forms will be available this weekend, at the Made 'N Thornbury market. Take the opportunity to meet the organisers, that's us, and see what we're all about.

Pick up your application form at either Finki, Konstant Kaos or Mrs Beckinsale stalls this Saturday, at the Made 'N Thornbury Market, 10am-3pm, 99 Leinster Grove Thornbury.

Application forms will then be available right here on this blog from Monday 7th September for everyone else. Get in early to be sure of your spot!

Applications will only be taken for one market date at a time, which means you can apply for the October market next week then apply for November after the October market's finished and so on. We want to give new crafters who are still building up their range (and confidence) an equal chance of applying for a stall as we go along.

This is all getting very exciting, people! Jump on board for the ride....
