WBTA Werribee Makers Market T&Cs
Werribee Makers Market will be held at Station Place Werribee during the Wyndham City Council Summer Pop Up Program, which had over 18,000 visitors during the 2018 program. Supporting community businesses who grow or create products, this market will also provide Pop Up Park visitors opportunities to engage with their local producers and artisans.
Our outdoor community market will be supported by a range of free activities, access to local information, and the opportunity to showcase local talent. The inclusion of family-friendly activities and entertainment provides opportunities to celebrate our local community and will bring many more visitors to the Market stalls.
Makers Market is an initiative of Wyndham Business & Tourism Association – a not for profit business organisation.
