The Coal Loader Artisans Market is held four times a year and features around 100 makers.
It is held on the last Sunday in February, May, August, and November.
This unique market offers people an opportunity to purchase original and creative handmade products directly from emerging and contemporary designers, artists and makers, while enjoying the atmosphere of the beautiful and historic site.
Stalls display and sell art, ceramics, sculpture, basketry, eco products, fashion, jewelry, accessories, wool creations, textiles, food, children's design and much more.
Held rain or shine, the venue offers a beautiful all-weather marketplace to showcase local creative talent, and it's a pretty fabulous day each time!
