Garage Sale Trail - Flea market Stallholders

Garage Sale Trail - Flea market Stallholders

We’re holding a Second-Hand Market where everything has had a life before—from clothes and accessories to books, toys, homewares and quirky finds.

Book a stall, sell your stuff and help give great things a second chance. One person’s ‘I don’t need this’ can be someone else’s ‘Where have you been all my life!?’

Second-hand only—no new products.

Stallholders MUST book a stall and be residents of Waverley in order to participate, this event is not a commercial market and not for commercial stallholders!
