Kiama Seaside Markets – January 2025

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the cancellation of today’s markets. Due to the recent severe weather, the grounds have become unsuitable for cars, stalls, and the event itself. Large tree branches have fallen around Kiama, and the ground has become muddy and unsafe. In addition, the venue has closed for all sports and activities due to these conditions.

We are deeply committed to minimizing our environmental impact, and unfortunately, with the site in its current state, we cannot ensure the safety of our vendors, visitors, or the natural space we cherish.

On a personal note, we’ve experienced the full force of this weather, with a large tree branch damaging our car roof, and some friends close to the location also facing structural damage. Safety must come first, and we hope you understand this difficult decision.

Further consideration was also given to:

A. Moving our Markets. There is just not a suitable space indoors for us locally to house 140 stalls.

B. Starting the Markets later hoping to take advantage of a better forecast if the grounds were re-opened. With such a beautiful area, we would struggle with setup which takes close to 3 hours with human traffic and safety is our number one priority.

We’ll keep you updated on future market events and thank you for your continued support. Stay safe and warm, and we look forward to seeing you at the next market!
