Tomorrow the Mount Barker Visitor Centre hosts our second Railway Markets.
Please come down and join us from 10am until 2pm.
All market goers are asked to utilise the existing parking bays over the railway line at the Shire of Plantagenet (near the toilets) or alternatively parking at The Plantagenet District Hall and then stroll on over.
This is to keep the traffic along the Albany Highway flowing.
We have some great stall holders for you to check out, including Moovinbrew, Earth 2 Plate Produce, Wicked Imp Studio, Wyld Hallow Designs, Being 1 With Frequency, The Gourmet Bee, Cafe Swift, Astrid Mae Candles and more.
There is a sausage sizzle on offer and the Visitor Centre will be open as well.
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
