Somers Winter Market
Somers annual winter market is being held once again on Saturday 22 August 2015 from 10am to 3pm! Entry is by gold coin donation per person. As parking will be very limited, there’ll be a free shuttle service to transport you to and from the markets from surrounding areas.
Explore the magnificent homestead on the property, linger the tranquil grounds, listen to music, feast on winter goodies, dip fingers into golden caramel sauce, browse eclectic wares from local artists and enjoy unique merchandise offered by the colorful market stalls.
Kids can run around freely on the grass and let loose on the bouncy castle. They can indulge in sand art at the craft tent where you’ll find sparkly glittery fairies painting the faces and entertaining the young.
Why? An annual market with great stalls, food, children’s entertainment and more, set in the sprawling grounds of a homestead.
