Market and Cafe a roaring success!
Updated:
We started our monthly market and cafe at the Haven to build a community relationship while providing a platform for local sellers. We encourage not only small businesses but also local people who may want to sell quality preloved items (like Vinted but without the postage!)
Our first market was held in February, attracting 6 stall holders. Approximately 50 people turned up (at one point there was a queue at the cafe!). The market place was buzzing with excitement - stalls included trial facials from Tropics, smelling lovely with the scented candles from Angel crafts and gorgeous cushions from Allison.
Since then we have attracted regular customers, enjoying not only a browse, but also the opportunity to enjoy a cuppa and a chat in the cafe.
Stall holders said:
"I really enjoy coming along and showcasing my items. I have some very worthwhile sales"
"Happy to support QCCC while selling my own goods!"
"Nice to see so many new faces"
Visitors said:
"I love coming as I love a shop and a coffee, cake is a bonus"
"We come every month to support QCCC. The market place is great, I have bought so many things!"
"We like that we can come for a coffee and a chat. We always sit with new people. My husband doesn't normally come shopping with me but he comes here for his tea and cake"
"Great idea to start this monthly market, I have all the dates in my diary"
