Keep an eye out for Lynda when she's at the market; she has beautiful, seasonal produce and can tell you how you get the most from your vege garden too.
26/4/07: With winter approaching, the weather is less reliable. On rainy days, the market will operate from the Pavilion, the semi-permanent white tent just across from the usual market site.

Check out the excellent selection of local and international performances on their website.
