The Riverbank Market is back
Lower Hutt's Riverbank Market is back. From October 23 the Riverbank Market will be operating from 6am to 2pm on Saturdays.
There will be some changes under Level two as the market needs to space the stalls two metres apart to help maintain the required physical distancing.
There will be a small number of food trucks for takeaways only. No seating or tables will be available. The market under Level 2 will focus on offering fresh vegetables, fruit and other food items.
Other items and activities like arts and crafts, buskers and seating will return once the Wellington region is at Level 1.
There will also be a change to the layout of the market, it will be spread out so there is plenty of room for people to shop and social distance, this change means parking close to the market will not be possible.
There will be parking in the south end of the Riverbank car park only for $2 an hour and free on-street parking. Pedestrian and cycle access has not changed.
All market stalls will post their QR code for ease of use, QR codes will be located at entrance to market as well. To keep everyone safe, all market stall holders and their staff are required to wear face masks.
If you attend the market, you will need to be prepared, wear a mask, and remember you have to social distance and scan in.
