About this market

Held on the grounds of Mortels Sheepskin Factory in Thornton, The Sunday Muster brings together a carefully curated roundup of local artists, craftspeople and designers for a boutique artisan market experience. Mortels has been handcrafting Australian-made products since 1958, and the Sunday Muster carries that same spirit - welcoming emerging small businesses who take pride in quality and originality. Stall numbers are deliberately kept limited so variety and quality take precedence over quantity, and vendors are selectively chosen to maintain the high standards regular visitors have come to expect. Upbeat, family-friendly and full of surprise, it's an easy day out with ample off-street parking just off the New England Highway and M1.
