A new community market will be coming to Pakenham featuring all things local.
Set to take place at Toomuc Reserve on the third Sunday of every month, the Pakenham Community Market will offer a range of delights.
It will feature things like fresh produce, cheese, smoked meat, hot foot, good coffee, plant and craft stalls, as well as trash and treasure.
Pakenham Football Club president and market organiser Travis Hamilton said he thought the area needed to support more local businesses and this would be a good way to help the community.
“It will benefit the community by giving locals the opportunity to sell their products and for the community to support local business,” he said.
“That is very important considering how hard businesses are doing it lately in the world of Covid.”
The market will be a free event for all to access and enjoy from 8am to 1pm.
A $30 fee is required to set up a stall but spots are unlimited for anyone interested.
For more information, contact Paul Beswick on 0492 205 627 or pakenhamcommunitymarket@gmail.com.
At the time, current coronavirus restrictions and regulations will apply.
