    About this market

    Nestled alongside Deep Creek at Valla Reserve - also known as Lions Park - the Valla Beach Community Markets are a genuine grassroots gathering in one of the Mid North Coast's most serene seaside villages. Run entirely by the Valla Beach Community Association (VBCA), the market is held six times a year on the first Saturday of every even month, bringing together local producers, artists, makers and food vendors in a relaxed beachside atmosphere. Stalls span homemade and home-grown produce, arts and crafts, clothing, plants, and a lively mix of food and coffee options - with live music adding a warm front-porch feel to the whole event. Beyond the stalls, proceeds flow directly back into community projects including the Anderson Park playground, shade structures, sports courts and local infrastructure - so every visit genuinely supports the village.

    Does the market run in wet weather?

    The market is weather permitting - it may be cancelled if conditions are poor. Check the Valla Beach Markets Facebook page closer to the date for any updates.

    Can I bring my dog?

    Yes - dogs are welcome at the market venue on a lead at all times. Note that dogs are prohibited on South Valla Beach and along Deep Creek, so check local signage before heading to the beach after the market.

    How do I book a stall?

    All sites must be pre-booked - walk-in spots cannot be guaranteed. Email vallabeachmarkets@gmail.com to request a booking. Sites range from $15 (community tent) to $50+ for food stalls. Stallholders must hold their own insurance or purchase day cover ($10).

    What time can stallholders arrive to set up?

    Vehicles can access the site from 6am for setup (7am for community tent stalls). The market opens to the public at 8am and trades until 1pm. Vehicles cannot return to pack up until after 1pm.

    How do I find the market?

    Navigate to 'Don Macrae Shelter, Valla Beach' on your GPS. From Giinagay Way, take the Valla Beach exit, cross the railway, pass the pub, turn right at the water tower, and follow signs to the end of Ocean View Drive - turn left just before the Valla Beach Holiday Park.
