It is once again my privilege to work with many of Northlands wonderfully talented arts community in
coming together and creating a market place for artistic and crafty endeavours.
We very much look forward to welcoming you as an Artisans Fair stall holder for 2015/2016 season and

This season we will start with a massive opening on Labour Weekend Saturday, running right through to
Christmas. We are organising an additional Christmas Market spectacular this year, which will be a
Twilight Market – on Wednesday evening of the 21st from 4pm to 8 or 9pm. After Christmas, we will run
two markets a month over summer months, capitalizing on the growing tourist trade to Northland and the
Town Basin. Our Easter Market is always massive but we will continue the season a bit longer and end on
Saturday 23 April Anzac weekend. If the Rally goes ahead on the 9 April, we may have to move elsewhere.
It’s important that we work together to make these markets as successful as we can.
Always open to ideas of how to do this and offers of help or support. 
