TAWA LIONS SATURDAY MARKET HAS MOVED
The Tawa Lions Saturday market has moved to a new site within the Outlet City carpark effective from 29 May. The new site is adjacent to the Porirua Stream just North of the vehicle access bridge across the stream.
In recognition of the move, Tawa Lions have waived the normal fee of $10 for a stall or boot sale for the first three weeks - i.e. through to Saturday 12 June. So now is the time for new vendors, as well as those who have been before, to come along and sell their goods. Prospective vendors should contact Tawa Lions by email at "tawamarket@lionsclubs.org.nz" or phone Alastair on 232 7936, or Murray on 232 5947.
The Saturday market has now been operating on the Outlet City property for the past 15 years and Tawa Lions are most grateful to Outlet City management for allowing this. All funds raised from the market are directed back into the community for various projects such as supporting local youth and the Tawa Lions annual Christmas parade.
The market offers fresh fruit and vegetables from a Kapiti Coast market gardener and the Tawa Lions stall offers fresh free-range eggs, honey, home-made jam and second-hand books. The Lions stall is also a collection point for aluminium wine tops and unwanted spectacles for recycling, and used small batteries for disposal. Other vendors from time to time include a local nurseryman selling plants and shrubs, a bakery selling buns and rolls of various flavored spices and an Asian food vendor.
So, come over and have a browse around next time you call in to Outlet City between 9 am and 2 pm on a Saturday.
