The official page of the Spencer Park Market and Gala Day, Sponsored Kindly by Treetech!
Every year we try to increase the stalls we can take and change up the variety so you get to see you good old favorite stalls and some brand new ones as well. This years is going to be our best one yet!
This market is full of over 150+ food and craft/market stalls with plenty of kids rides, games and entertainment to be found.
Set in the beautiful Spencer Park not only is it a great place to also have a picnic but is also set within walking distance of the beach so you can really make it a great day out with something for everyone.
We see roughly 9000 thousand people of the first day and about 6000 people of the second.
*-*-*-*-*-* Cash out and Dogs*-*-*-*-*-*
We will have limited cash out ATM facilities on the day. Make sure to bring Cash as many vendors use cash as the eftpos can play havoc with the amount of people who show up.
Dogs are welcome (as long as they are always on a lead) and you are happy to pick up their poo.
*-*-*-*-*-* Free Event-No Tickets Needed*-*-*-*-*-*
This is a FREE EVENT, however rides do cost (this is set by the ride holder) There are no tickets or anything for sale so please do not get caught in a scam.
So bring the family and get ready for an exciting two days full of fun! Picnic's encouraged.
