Hunter Arts Network is pleased to share that we have rescheduled our August Art Bazaar. It will be held on Sunday 29 September 2024 from 10am to 3pm. Due to the unkind wet weather, before things got too disastrous for our stallholders they had no option other than to pack up on the day. It was very disappointing and unfortunate for everyone involved. We look forward to seeing you on our new date in September!
Bump in information
We email bump in information to all stallholders within 24 hours before the event which shows what times and where you can drive, unload, park your car, return and set up. This information will also be posted on our website and socials at the same time.
Newcastle Men’s Shed will be available to assist bumping in and bumping out to those who need it
You must ensure your market tent is heavily weighed down
Safety comes first and our major concern is the wind and we usually expect a bit of wind in the afternoon. Council has advised that pegs are no longer allowed in the park. Please pack weights to secure your gazebo. Weights must be around 15kg per leg and an inspection will be carried out at set up and no weights or flimsy weights will not be allowed. If bringing water weights it is often a good idea to fill your water weights before packing them.

Here are some handy tips for stallholders:
Provide your own table

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
