Market Registration

What are they?
The markets are aimed to be a family-friendly, community-based event held in different locations around the Shire to promote shopping local and advertised to be a fun day out with live music, kids activities and food for all ages.

When?
The markets are to be held on various dates throughout the year, which are subject to change in line with other scheduled events within the region.

Who runs it?
The Wentworth Shire Council trialled markets throughout 2022 & 2023 to determine the popularity and success of hosting markets within the region. Determinants included stallholder and community interest, timing of the markets and the location they were held at.

Due to the success, Wentworth Shire Council will continue to run the markets in each area and encourage new and existing stallholders to take part.

How does it work?
Stallholder / Food Vendor applications are open to the public and are advertised via newspaper and online social pages. To register, please complete this form and return it to events@wentworth.nsw.gov.au.

What do you get?
Stallholders will have the choice to book a single 3m x 3m site, or a double 6m x 3m site.
