It is with great pleasure we finally welcome back visitors to Camberwell Sunday Market! Our official reopening is this weekend, Sunday 31 October 2021, from 7am – 12:30pm!
Our Rotary volunteers, stallholders and market staff can’t wait to see our thousands of visitors back; browsing, discovering a treasure, with hot jam donuts, a coffee and the music of buskers filling the air.
We will be open every weekend in November and December, except for Sunday 19 December 2021 – allowing Christmas shoppers to parking support our local retail traders and small business owners.
Visitors should remember to bring a face mask for cases where you can’t physically distant
Use the Market QR Code to check-in and also each stall you stop and spend time at (stalls all have their own QR Codes)
There’s hand sanitiser at each stall. Maintain good hygiene: clean your hands regularly and cough or sneeze into your elbow
Please don’t attend the market if you are unwell, have been exposed to Covid19 or are subject to a CHO health order
The changes announced impact outdoor retail and gathers, and therefore our current reopening plans for the market on 31 October 2021
While the easing of restrictions are welcome, we will be working with Council to update any requirements to our weekly operations, including entry requirements, mask requirements, etc.
Fantastic news! • Camberwell Sunday Market is reopening • discussions with Council are under way • current stall booking for 31 October and November are still valid • December and January stalls will be open for bookings shortly
Stay tuned to social media and our website for more details of the reopening!
It is always feels particularly great to be back at Camberwell on Sunday following a lockdown. The sights, smells, sound and tactile nature of browsing the market are a sensory delight. It makes us appreciate the simple things in life we can so easily take for granted: the simple pleasure of a stroll through the market can lift the spirit.
Sometimes is is easy to forget that the simple act of gathering for the market is in itself an act of generosity. Visitors know their gold coin donations go to worthy projects and charities through Rotary, but, in addition to entry donations, stall fees generate funds that also support a wide variety causes.
One such initiative is the Market’s contribution to the Annual Community Strengthening Grants program of the City of Boroondara. The grant program provides up to $10,000 in financial support for new, one-off projects and equipment costs associated with delivering projects and the Boroondara’s community.
The grants are the result of a unique partnership between the Rotary Club of Balwyn and the City of Boroondara, made possible by Rotary’s Camberwell Sunday Market and the community of Boroondara. A percentage of the stall fees from the market is distributed through the Annual Community Strengthening Grants.
Total funding available each year is subject to variation, depending on Council’s annual budget allocation and the contribution of the Rotary Club of Balwyn. In 2020/21 the Council recommended 61 grants totalling $292,405.07. This would not be lpossible without the visitors and stallholders to Camberwell Market… thank you!
