Glenorie Village Markets. 9am to 1pm. Sunday 30 June. Les Shore Oval, 2658 Old Northern Road, Glenorie.
The Glenorie Village Markets are only held on the 5th Sunday of every month! So they don’t happen very often and they are on this weekend. The Village Markets are focused primarily on fresh produce, artisan goods and a connection with the local producers around the areas the markets are held. The aim of the markets is to provide a place for the family to come, do some produce shopping, look for some arts and crafts, sit down and have a bite to eat or a drink, and relax and enjoy the day. There’s a focus on providing an event style atmosphere rather than just a shop and go experience.
Pick your own fruit – Mandarin season
Throwing all the kids in the car and heading off fruit picking is a great activity that the whole family can enjoy! It’s a great way to show kids where their fruit comes from while also being out in the sunshine and fresh air. We’re lucky here in the Hills to have fabulous farms right on our doorstep so the journey isn’t too far – as we all know, with young kids there’s no such thing as enjoying a long, leisurely drive!
Here are our tips for places to visit this Winter. Most places charge a price for for what you pick. Also, things change due to seasons and weather, so make sure you check the farm’s website or Facebook page for opening times before you set off. And don’t forget to take your own bags.
