Stallholder Info

The Te Atatu Peninsula Artisan & Handmade Market celebrates creativity, and provides an outlet for kiwi creators and artisans to show off their talents.  Creators of wonderful things market their products and meet other stallholders.  We are a small and intimate market in a unique location.

You will find us in the Main Hall at 595 Te Atatu Road, Te Atatu Peninsula and occasionally in the Foyer/Gallery and/or the Library Deck.  The market is from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Most stallholders prefer inside in the Main Hall.

Standard spaces are 2.0 metres deep x 2.0 metres long and each standard space costs $5.  If you need more space, please ask.  This needs to be arranged before market day and is only available in special circumstances.

Bring everything you need to set up your allocated space - tables, covers and display stands.  Tables should be covered with a neat and tidy cloth or sheet which is large enough to cover table legs at the front and sides.  Cloths should extend all the way down to the bottom of your table.  Glass cases are not permitted.  Gas cookers are not permitted.
