Artisan goods, fresh produce, live music, workshops, face painting, sweet treats and giveaways will all be part of Campbelltown’s first city-based markets this Sunday.
The markets will be open from 8.30am and until 1pm in Lithgow Street mall, which runs off Queen Street in the town centre, pictured above.
Handmade and Homegrown Markets On Q will be the first in a series of monthly markets held on Lithgow Street, the grounds of Glenalvon House and surrounding the Forum Q creative space in the heart of Campbelltown’s main street.
With more than 40 stall holders from around the Macarthur region, there will be something for everyone at these markets.
From a mix of fresh produce and artisan crafts items, there will be fresh local fruits and vegetables, flowers, sweets, breads, gourmet cakes, honey, jams, pickles, relishes, marinades and sauces.
Other stalls will be offering art prints, jewellery, macramé hangings, handmade knitted toys, resin home décor, candles, clothing and accessories, dried floral arrangements, bath and shower products and sustainability products.
People can pick up a coffee and a bite to eat from any of the surrounding cafes or restaurants on Queen Street and Lithgow Street or from Macarthur Scouts NSW.
The grounds of historic Glenalvon house will be open and you will be able to sit on the lawn and enjoy a coffee or morning tea while listening to live music and enjoying yard games.
To accommodate the open street nature of this event, some roads in the Campbelltown CBD will be closed to cars and traffic from 6am to 3pm on the event day.
This will mean Lithgow Street between Lithgow Street Mall and the Moore Oxley Bypass, Anzac Lane and Carberry Lane between Lithgow Street and Anzac Lane will be closed for that period.
The Handmade and Homegrown Markets will be held twice more, on Sunday, April 10 and Sunday, May 15.
