The heart of Bannockburn will become a bustling market next week, with food, drink and music all part of the fun.
Golden Plains Shire Council will hold its annual Twilight Market from 4pm to 8pm on Thursday 4 December at the Bannockburn Heart, with more than 100 stallholders turning out for the event to hawk their wares.
In addition to the fine arts and crafts, local produce and clothing on display at the market stalls, the event will include ready to eat food options, a full bar with craft beer and local wine, live music from Kieran Tobin and Marcus Hayden and free children’s activities including a jumping castle and animal farm.
Golden Plains mayor Owen Sharkey said the market was an “opportunity to create social connection and engagement” that contributed to “building vibrant resilient communities”.
“The Twilight Market is a vibrant community event aimed at strengthening the local economy by providing opportunities for local growers and makers while providing customers with access to a diverse range of high-quality products and nutritional produce in a safe, fun and social environment,” he said.
“Council is proud to support the local business community this festive season by encouraging residents, visitors and individuals passing through our shire to prioritise shopping with local businesses.
“When you buy from local shops, you’re investing in the vibrancy of the community and the Twilight Market is the perfect place to support the local economy.”
