BUNDANOON MAKERS MARKET
Bundanoon Public School, Bundanoon First Sunday of the Month Bundanoon Soldiers’ Memorial Hall Third Sunday of the Month
OUR LOCAL MARKET IS ADAPTING AND GROWING From September 2023, the Bundanoon Makers Market will move back to its original location at the Bundanoon Soldiers’ Memorial Hall for the 3rd Sunday of the month ONLY. The market will remain at Bundanoon Public School on the 1st Sunday of the month until further notice. To celebrate the market coming back into the central hub of town we’re introducing a new initiative for our community, Backyard Produce, which will be located in the upper supper room of the hall on the 3rd Sunday market, beginning on Sunday, 17 September. Backyard Produce allows small-time growers, from kids to seniors, to sell what they grow and harvest at home. There will be no set stall fee. A space will be supplied in the supper room, along with tables, tablecloths, and baskets. In return, a small percentage of whatever you earn is taken. Backyard Produce will operate on an honesty system. Its aim is to help supply our community with fresh produce – and provide an incentive to get into that veggie patch. To book a space please contact Lisa on 0411 297 963 or email [email protected] Start planting today!
The Markets are held on the first and third Sundays of every month (except January) 8.30am to 2pm. The Bundanoon Makers Market is a fabulously friendly community event, crammed with arts, crafts, live music, delicious food, fresh produce and handmade goods. There is plenty of fresh local produce, breads, eggs and honey, plus a glorious selection of homemade cakes, jams, chutneys and sauces. Delicious food stalls serve up fare with an international flavour, including a range of ready-made take-home meals, and of course a coffee van for your morning caffeine hit!
So, come discover the handmade, homemade, bakers, growers and artists and enjoy the buzzy, eclectic atmosphere of the Bundanoon Makers Market in one of the Southern Highlands most picturesque villages, less than two hours drive from Sydney. Have a browse, discover a bargain, taste from delicious local artisanal providores and international food stalls. There is easy street parking within a short walking distance.

THE THRESHOLD (PLAY) by Warfarers Australia Saturday 9 March, 4.00 pm Soldiers Memorial Hall, Bundanoon Tickets – CLICK HERE
Written by Canberra-based musician, writer, visual artist and arts educator Judith (Judy) Clingan, the play is presented in two parts: Part 1 is light-hearted and slightly humorous, with four aging women actors discussing the various downsides of growing older. The actors sing Gerascophobia, a silly song about what increasing age does to us. An older woman dancer, Glenys Harris, responds to a more beautiful song, Love Life, sung by our excellent small adult choir from Wayfarers Australia. Our Little Life comes at the end of part 1.
Part 2 is more sombre, using poetry both old and new, eliciting compassion. Part 2 ends with my choral setting of the 14th-century Julian of Norwich’s words, “All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”
The Threshold received a standing ovation at its premiere performances last March. Along with singers and actors, the company includes musicians (string quartet, flute, clarinet, piano, recorders, hammered dulcimer, singing bowls, bells) who will be conducted by former Canberran David Cassat.
