Continuing Our Plastic Free July Campaign let’s keep focussing on avoiding single-use disposable plastic and take the challenge to eliminate it from our lives. This way we are choosing to be part of the solution.

Plastic has become a major threat to the health of our planet especially our oceans and our marine life. Watch the documentary Plastic Oceans to learn more. Our plastic waste is a deadly threat to marine life. Join us to make the market a plastic free place – many of our stalls are looking at options so that they can phase out plastic wrap and other plastic products.

Stallholders returning:

The Gourmet Salad Hut is back this week with loads of kale so they are offering a super special – only $2 a bunch.

The Murwillumbah Community Men’s Shed is returning for the school holidays and then fortnightly thereafter now they have replenished their supplies.
