The Capital Region Farmers Market will relocate this weekend from their home ground at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC), due to the arrival of the Spilt Milk Festival in Canberra.
“But there’s no use crying over Spilt Milk, instead we’re relocating our farmers, growers, producers and makers over to GIO Stadium for our Away Game,” said Capital Region Farmers Market Manager, Sarah Power.
“This is a big undertaking for us, and our producers really need your support now more than ever, as selling their summer produce at this time is critical.
“Our farmers and growers in particular have been working tirelessly on their summer harvest and can’t wait to share the bounty with our loyal Market shoppers who we hope will make the move out to GIO Stadium with us for this one weekend of the year.
“And we hope to also make some new friends with locals in the Bruce and Belconnen areas who may not have previously shopped at our Farmers Market,” Sarah continued.
Away Game will welcome a huge range of Market farmers, producers, makers and all their best and freshest produce to the stadium, and organisers are confident the Market will really showcase the best summer produce and festive foods.
“We’re just at the start of summer now and already our growers have fresh, tasty cherries, stone fruit including peaches, apricots, plums and nectarines, summer salads and farm-fresh veggies.
“Plus, we’ll have all the festive foods and Christmas fun including fresh Christmas trees, seasonal smallgoods, fresh seafood and Christmas treats including puddings, mince tarts and more,” Sarah continued.
As an extra special treat for those who visit GIO Stadium for Away Game, the Market will be awarding two very lucky winners with door prizes of $500 vouchers to spend at Market, so all their festive food needs will be taken care of this year.
Capital Region Farmers Market’s Away Game will be held on Saturday 13December at GIO Stadium in Bruce, 7am – 11:30am. The Market will return to its regular location at EPIC on the following Saturday 20th December, with the last Market for 2025 a special Christmas Eve Market at EPIC on Wednesday 24 December, 7am – 11:30am.
