Rosny’s new community market

Rosny residents perused local wares, food, fresh produce, handmade materials and second- hand gems at the inaugural Rosny Park Community Market at the Rosny Park Bowls Club in July.

Event organiser Kitty Kruup said the main ambition of the market was to create a sense of community.

“Ever since we announced the market I have been inundated with requests for stalls and the fact that we can have stalls indoor and outdoor is a massive benefit,” she said.

“The idea for the market first came about when the Glenorchy Showground Market shut down and I wanted to help out all the stallholders who were part of that.

“It took a while to try and track down the right spot but we have been so lucky to receive support from the bowls club who have agreed to lend us their space for weekly events moving forward.”

The market received support from multiple organisations including sponsorship from the Clarence City Council and several platform trollies donated by Clennett’s Mitre 10.

“We are eternally grateful for all the support we have received from the bowls club, the council and Mitre 10 who have all, in their own unique way, helped create a community-focused event which will greatly benefit both the stallholders and local patrons,” Ms Kruup said.

“This is a really exciting time and it’s only the beginning.

“We are welcoming feedback on how to make the market event better in the future.”

The Rosny Park Community Market is held every Sunday from 9am to 2pm at the Rosny Park Bowls Club.
