Overview
Another week, another new market — the dream scenario of weekend shoppers across the city, let's be honest. This time around, Metre Market joins the fold. Fashion is their main domain, but you'll also find music, food and arts among their stalls.
In fact, with giving Brisbanites an opportunity to sell their pre-loved clothes the main reason the market came to fruition, you can even get in on the action by applying for a metre or two of space. And if all you want to do is browse and buy, there's plenty of that on offer too.
The first Metre Market will take place on February 7 at the Morningside School of the Arts, and promises to set quite the precedent for future events. Not only is it free, but it features pretty posies from In Bloom Flower Co., homewares by T-leaf Collections and Axsher, outfits from local labels Evangeline and Jada Blue, and creative prints by Ellamee Art and Illustration — among other stalls, of course.
Just where and when they'll pop up next is yet to be announced, so heading along to their inaugural outing is highly recommended. Plus, their first Morningside site is less than a block away from the Southside Tea Room and Death Valley, should you need some pre-market sustenance or post-market beverages.
Find Metre Market at the Morningside School of the Arts, on the corner Wynnum Road and Ison Street, from 9am to 2pm on February 7. For more information, check out their website or Facebook page.
