The Bays Kids Market

At the Bays Kids Market, more than 40 children aged 7–12 take charge of their own stalls — creating, pricing and selling everything from handmade pottery and jewellery to fudge, plants and recycled creations. It is a genuine market run by kids, not a school fair, and that hands-on entrepreneurial energy gives the whole event a lively, purposeful feel.

Browsers can expect a wide range of stalls: art and cards, cakes and pizza dough balls, succulents, bracelets and the work of young inventors. Between the stalls there is face painting and a craft table to keep smaller visitors busy.

Over $500 in raffle prizes and giveaways — including a Kelly Tarlton's family pass, food vouchers and a pharmacy hamper — are up for grabs simply for turning up, making it a rewarding outing for the whole family while supporting a new generation of local makers.
