Rotary Club of Ocean Grove is gearing up for the return of its wildly popular monthly market.

Market organiser Adrian Schmidt said news was spreading quickly about the market’s return.

“We put an email out less than a week ago and I’ve got 43 stall holders already and they are still coming in,” he said.

“Normally we get 80 to 100 stalls.

“Everyone loves to get out and do some Christmas shopping or shop for some fruit and veggies, or browse some of the craft stalls.

“There’s lots of different stuff to wander around and look at and buy.

Usually get thousands of people when you count them all from nine o’clock to one in the afternoon.”

The market, which sells anything from food to handicrafts and art, will return on Sunday November 1 and then monthly on the first Sunday of each month.

The market, at Ocean Grove Park, runs from 9am to 1pm.

Mr Schmidt said once it was announced that the market was going ahead, there was an instant uptake by the regular stall holders.

“I think everyone is just excited to be getting out,” he said.

“We’re looking forward to it.”
