We look forward to having you at Hunter Arts Network’s next Art Bazaar at Lambton Park being held tomorrow Sunday 26 March 2023 from 10am to 3pm!
We are very grateful to have Newcastle Men’s Shed helping us again on the day. Newcastle Men’s Shed will be available to assist bumping in and bumping out to those who need it from 6.30am – 9.30am and 3.00pm – 4.30pm
Bump in information is now available!
We are also emailing this bump in information to all stallholders before the event which shows what times and where you can drive on, unload, drive off, park your car, return and set up. This information will also be posted on our website and socials at the same time. After you have driven to the designated bump in area unload your vehicle and then move your vehicle to the on street parking and then come back and start setting up your stall.
Here is the bump in information:
Traffic flow for driving onto the park to unload (ie. dry scenario)
Please note at the moment we’re going with the dry scenario (ie. vehicles allowed on grounds), as the park was still quite firm on Friday morning after Thursday night’s thunder storm. However, if on Sunday morning the grounds are too soggy after rainfall on Friday night and Saturday, we may choose to go with the wet scenario (ie. NO vehicles allowed on grounds, except food vans).
Remember safety comes first and our major concern is the wind and please note:
- WEIGHTS ONLY – The Council has advised that pegs are no longer allowed in the park. Please pack weights to secure your gazebo. Market tents MUST be heavily weighed down. If bringing water weights it is often a good idea fill your water weights before bringing them
- Provide your own 3 x 3 metre market tent – this MUST be a good quality gazebo for example OZTrail

Here are some handy tips for stallholders:
Provide your own table
Provide hand sanitizer and wipes
Display your Covid Safe Policy
Charge your Square reader
Bring an extra battery source for your phone
Take pictures on your phone of your market set up so you can refer back to pictures of the previous market and also for sharing on socials including ours, and tag #hanartbazaar #hunterartsnetwork
Clothing to cover all hot/cold options & sun protection
Tablecloths to cover the tables
Paper carry bags and paper bags (customise these with business cards) for sales
Normally we recommend bringing a float however due to Covid cashless is now preferred
Business cards, flyers, signage
Tissue paper/bubble wrap depending on what you are selling
Display stands/items for your work….you can be creative with this ie old suitcases/timber children’s chairs/jewellery trees that seem to pop up everywhere in home stores etc
Small kit of stationery items ie scissors/safety pins/black marker texta/sticky tape
Pack the car the night before
Leave your day to day handbag at home and only take what is essential for security reasons/bring a small crossover bag for your change/ or bumbag
If you are by yourself tell ALL your friends to drop in and say hello so you at least get a toilet break!
Introduce yourself to your neighbouring stalls
Chains or mesh to hang from the market tent to hang wall art
Collect customer details
Receipts
Plenty of drinking water
If you make clothes of jewellery, wear it on the day
Be doing something with your hands, sewing or painting or other making as people like seeing creative people being creative, it not only creates a topic of conversation but you are not sitting there starring at the customer, freaking them out
