THE 43rd Annual Oxley Bush Market, to be held on Saturday, November 2 is already fully booked, with more than 150 sites boasting an enormous range of home-made, home-grown, home-produced and new items.

Held at the historic Oxley Shire Hall, the market has become a firm fixture on the calendar for North East residents and the many visitors to our region since 1980.

The Oxley Hall Committee, which organises the successful event, commented that once again it had to ‘say sorry’ to numerous applicants due to product duplications or space restrictions.

Oxley Hall Committee secretary Janet Heath said it never ceases to amaze the committee over the number of stallholders applying to attend.

“The products get more and more varied from year to year," she said.

“And, as usual, we again have many new vendors attending this year, so visitors will find something different down every aisle."

As well as stalls selling home-made, home grown and new products, including crafts, baking, plants, preserves, Christmas wares and gifts, there will also be an extraordinary range of gourmet food from around the world to please every palate, toe-tapping music and entertainment for the kids.

A ‘Monster Raffle’ of local produce and vouchers will again be a feature of the day.

The 43rd Annual Oxley Bush Market is free entry for all and will run from 9am to 2.30pm.

Dogs are not permitted (except for Assistance Dogs), there will be a Doggy Crèche available at the front gate, where dogs will be cared for by the Oxley Fire Brigade.
