Southern Farmers Market are always keen to get involved with Active Southland’s annual Chalk It Up week.  The Railway Station footpaths and carpark really come alive and burst with colour and creativity. Join our facebook page for updates

Every year our Christmas market is our biggest and most exciting market of the year.  It’s always packed with the freshest produce, food, music, artisan gifts - and fun games for the tamariki.

Our Christmas tree goes up the first week of December and everyone is welcome to help dress it, and write a note to Santa.

Always the last Sunday before Christmas (unless Christmas falls on a Sunday, where we’ll organise it for the Saturday).

We work Very closely with the Southland Business Chamber to support YES teams validate and market their products and services.  We’ve welcomed lemonade makers, compost creators, candle and soap makers just to name a few!  This is a fun time of the year for us seeing how we can support our young people on their entrepreneurial journeys.

We welcome fundraising groups to the market to sell raffles and scratchie boards, or other products that complement the market product suite.  Approved fundraising stalls can visit us three times, at no cost!   To enquire about a fundraising stall - use our Contact Us form, we’d love to hear from you.
