Matakana Junior Artisans' Market
Made and managed by kids
Two enterprising local kids, Izzy Wagstaff and Lucy Howlett, invite all young creatives to showcase their skills and products in the first Matakana Junior Artisans' Market, happening in August.
This vibrant event will be held on Sunday 13 August, from 10am-3pm, at the Matakana Hall, and what is so unique about this market is that all stalls must be run and managed by the kids themselves. Izzy and Lucy extend a warm invitation to young entrepreneurs in the area, urging them to seize this opportunity performing or busking to showcase their creations and adventurous spirit. Whether it's selling art, baking, plants, slime, or even second-hand books and toys, there's a place for every young talent to shine.
Additionally, local kids’ groups and sporting clubs are welcome to join the market to fundraise. This is a fantastic chance for these groups to not only raise funds but also to foster a spirit of community and collaboration among other young people.
The Matakana Junior Artisans' Market will also be a platform for philanthropy, as Izzy and Lucy are raising money for the Country Retreat Animal Sanctuary. By participating in this market, kids have the opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause and make a positive impact in their community.
To apply for a stall you can email Izzy and Lucy directly for an application form at the email below. Alternatively, you can find Izzy at Horizon School or Lucy at Matakana School for more information.
Stall fees are $10 per table, and $20 for clubs and groups, stall applications close on Monday 7 August, so don't miss your chance to be a part of this incredible event.
Exciting prizes await those with the best stalls and most creative products, so bring your A-game and let your imagination go wild. Follow the event (Matakana Junior Artisan's Market) on Facebook for updates and further information.
