The Royal Oak Market
The Royal Oak Market - building sustainable communities - will be held on 22 November 2009 at 14 Erson Avenue, Royal Oak. It will be a melting pot for the community, incorporating artisan products, fresh local produce together with craft, art, fashion and design. There will be a selection of community stalls and volunteer projects to get involved with plus music and talks throughout the day on sustainable living and gardening practices.
This unique market is being hosted by CCS Disability Action, a not for profit organisation which supports people with disabilities. The market will be a practical and enjoyable way for CCS Disability Action to demonstrate their commitment to building inclusive communities.
There will be over 50 high quality stalls selling fresh food and produce, the work of independent designers, sustainable and healthy living solutions, community stalls, music and a whole lot more.
We are currently accepting applications from stallholders for the Market. We are interested in receiving applications from stallholders selling fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared food and food products. We also want to hear from independent designers, artists and crafts people who are interested in selling their work at the Market.
Our preference is for products which have been grown, made or crafted locally or products that are healthy or environmentally sound. We intend to host the market for one day each season.
