THE popular Maleny Markets on the Green are relocating indoors after two years of battling unpredictable weather.
Previously held on the green strip beside Maleny Realty, the markets will now take place at the Uniting Church in Maleny.
Co-organiser Debs Swain said: “We’ve faced rain nearly every event. Moving indoors is a game-changer.”
The new venue offers an indoor hall and a spacious outdoor grassy area, ideal for food, plants, and outdoor stalls.
Murray Robertson of the Uniting Church expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting plans to integrate the markets with the Monster Garage Sale and continue supporting local chaplaincy efforts.
The move also means fewer restrictions, encouraging more stalls offering handmade goods, plants, food, bric-a-brac, clothing, and beauty products. Markets will now run on the 2nd and 5th Saturdays of each month, replacing the Thursday market. Twice a year, they’ll host Monster Garage Sales alongside regular stalls.
The first market at the new venue is set for Saturday, February 8. Stallholders can book now—$25 for a single or $40 for a double. Call 0417 626 167 or email malenymog@hotmail.com. Don’t forget to follow their Facebook page for updates!
