And now for the part we really want our future stallholders to know...

Our stallholders are booking every available market right through to the middle of next year.

Not one or two dates. Every available market.

They've traded with us, seen the crowds, seen the sales and they're securing their next dates before someone else gets them.

Here’s what’s currently coming up at The Hollow Markets:

📆 10 October | School holidays
🎃 31 October | Crown Street, Wollongong
🧙 1 November | Crown Street, Wollongong
📆 14 November
🎄 28 November
🎄 12 December
🎄 19 December

If you've been thinking about joining us, now is the time to get your application in.

And once the available spots are gone, you won't be able to book the date you wish you'd taken.

Get in while you can.

What a day at The Nest. 💛

A little breezy after lunch, but such a good crowd.
Fresh fruit and veggies, good food, local makers, music, animals, Knights, free games and plenty of reasons to stay a while.

If you were here today, thank you. What do you think. What do you love?

Tell us below. And if you know someone who needs to discover The Nest, tag them.

🦖✨ Kids Adventures at The Nest Markets ✨🧚‍♀️

V1.

Life is too short and they grow up so fast!

So this Saturday, for the kids looking for a little adventure of their own…

🪽 First, they headed to the nearby Red Lamp Playground to learn to fly.

🐐 Matilda’s Farm Yard animals were with $8 entry per child and adults FREE when accompanying their kids.

🎣 They might even have a go at fishing. Don’t forget to bring your own fishing gear!

🦀 They could keep an eye out for some of the local wildlife too… crabs, maybe a stingray, and if they’re really lucky, seals under Windang Bridge. Keep a safe distance!

🦖 Find dinosaurs, creatures and some pretty amazing finds.

⚔️ There were Knights in Shining Armour to discover…

🧪 And magical things like potions to find along the way.

Who knows what the kids might discover when they come along to The Nest Markets? 🪺

📍 Reddall Reserve, Lake Illawarra
📅 Saturday 12th September
⏰ 9am – 3pm
🛍️ Almost 120 stall sites taken up!

Come down, have a wander, grab some goodies from our amazing stallholders and let the kids have an adventure of their own. ❤️

I don’t need a cupcake.
I don’t need a cupcake.

Look over there… Rusty T Spoon has SOLD OUT of her famous cupcakes and the macaroons are gone as well.

See? I’m fine. I absolutely did not need a cupcake.

Somehow, 6 cupcakes always manage to make it to my car (husband is suspect number 2 😜)

See Rusty T Spoon today before you miss out. Located opposite Eat Street.

Sit by the lake or seek the ocean and enjoy.
