The Kororoit Creek Neighbourhood House (KCNH) will open its doors this Friday with a festive makers market.
The market will feature local craft makers and artisans
The makers market has not run since before Covid, but was once a popular community event.
In what promises to be a relaxed afternoon of browsing an array of locally made goods, the event will also feature arts and crafts workshops, lawn games and a barbecue, meaning there is something for everyone.
Market-goers are also encouraged to bring their own picnic to enjoy.
KCNH co-ordinator Danielle Whelan said the event is a great opportunity to do some Christmas shopping and support sustainable practices.
“Funds will go directly to the local craft makers selling their goods on the day to promote our local economy and support local producer,” she said.
“The funds raised from the stallholder fees will go towards supporting the many free to access programs we run at Kororoit Creek Neighbourhood House.
“The Christmas Makers Market has been curated to promote craft-makers who produce sustainable items. The locally sourced items mean less energy has been spent to transport products compared to products which come from farther away. When items are made out of organic materials, they are able to be composted rather than be disposed of in landfill.”
The event is free to attend, and is fully wheelchair accessible.
It’s at KCNH on Sewlyn Street, Albion, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.
