FAQ’s for our Mount Barker Pageant Pop-up Market 🎄
Is this a normal Farmers Market?
Not quite! We have combined our weekly Farmers Market with an exciting array of specialty vendors, who are all ready to spread the Christmas cheer in support of the Mount Barker Christmas Pageant!
With 50 stalls attending this Saturday, making it one of our largest ever. There will be fresh and local produce, hot food, refreshing drinks, sweet treats, doggy eats, handmade arts and crafts, and more!
Special Location:
A reminder to our regulars we are at Pop-up park on Morphett street just for this weekend only (the block of land between Woolworths & Mount Barker Central). You can still get your regular weekly shopping done with ease at this market (with the quietest time being 10:00-11:30 whilst the pageant is on).
Santa:
Want to say hi to Santa? Word on the streets: he’ll be stopping by the market after the pageant in search of a sneaky carrot-snack for his reindeer!
Family Entertainment:
The lawned area will be a safe and cosy place to relax this Saturday; a perfect place to sit with a coffee and have some scrummy breakfast before the pageant. There will also be games and toys on the lawn for the kiddies to play with all day.
Parking:
There are two car parks open on Stephens street next to the event (one lawn, one paved) for those wishing to attend the farmers market only, and we suggest arriving early for a spot. Please be mindful that if you are attending the pageant we ask that you park across the roads at MB Central Shopping Centre or the Aldi Car Park.
Shuttle Bus:
The Pageant and Council are running a free shuttle bus service for the day. Beginning at 8.30am, running through to 12.30pm, and servicing the following Shuttle Bus Stops –
📍Howard Lane Car Park
📍Park n Ride, Dumas St
📍Mann St
Toilets:
The nearest toilets to the Market are in Mount Barker Central shopping mall, and there is a pedestrian crossing on Hutchinson street to get there.
Accessibility:
There will be designated Accessibility parks in the carpark on Stephens street.
It will be a busy day in Mount Barker with the Christmas Pageant, but it is sure to be one for the memory book! 🎄
