THE Anglesea Twilight Farmers’ Market will return tomorrow (Friday, November 20).<\/p>\n
The market is all about bringing the community together and supporting local businesses, and following the difficulties of this year, this type of event has never been more important.<\/p>\n
Anglesea Community House program co-ordinator Marcelle Renkin is excited to again be holding the event.<\/p>\n
She said there would be a range of local products on offer and encouraged people to get involved.<\/p>\n
“It’s about educating people about sustainability, where the produce comes from and supporting local businesses,” Ms Renkin said.<\/p>\n
“It’s bringing the community together in a safe way.<\/p>\n
“We’re excited to be back, it’s good to see the community getting out and about in a COVID-safe way.<\/p>\n
“We’re providing a safe space for the community to reconnect.”<\/p>\n
The market will run from 4.30pm until 8pm and will take place in the Anglesea Community House car park.<\/p>\n
Ms Renkin said the market would certainly look a bit different to its previous ones given COVID-19 regulations. The market will have only one entry point – patrons are being asked to enter through gate 4 in McMillan Street; look for the flags. Food will only be takeaway, with people asked not to gather in large groups, and all the usual coronvirus restrictions will apply.<\/p>\n
Given the size of the carpark – roughly 3,000 square metres – it will be able to hold a solid amount of people. The market is allowed one person for every 4sqm.<\/p>\n
There will also be an opportunity for a community group to run a sausage sizzle on the night.<\/p>\n
The zero-waste market prides itself on sustainability, and will be held every fortnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
