December 11,
Roleystone Twilight Christmas Market once again sponsors
two regular favourites for the children, as a BIG THANK YOU to the community for its support over the last four years. No doubt due to maintaining its original concept of a market by the community for the community.
Old McDonalds Farm and
face painting are
FREE for all the young and not so young visitors.
The local Bendigo Community Bank proudly sponsors a new children's activity,
Sand Art Cards. Call into the
Bendigo Bank tent and let your children have fun, get creative with sand and enjoy making a great card to take home.
As you wander among the stalls, with that little extra cash scoring some great
Christmas presents, the children enjoy many free activities.
With over
one hundred and twenty hand-picked stalls, finding unique gifts for
Christmas will be a pleasure. Many new stallholders (along with some old favourites), plenty of
food outlets,
free activities, rides and a
concert make it a market for everyone. As usual a
special guest will drop by around
5.00pm to say '
ho ho ho'. Hint: Look for the man in the red suit.
A great drive to start a great day
Turning onto the Brookton Highway, off Albany Highway Kelmscott, takes you through rolling hills to the Roleystone Markets, situated in Cross Park. Turn off at Holden road and follow the signs to the market location situated along Jarrah Road between Wygonda and Heather Road, just 30 kilometres south-east of Perth.
Activities galore
A regular at the markets,
Old McDonalds Farm, is always a great hit with the kids. Who can resist having a
free cuddle with the cute farmyard animals?
Arty Brellas provides a fantastic opportunity for some creative fun, and you get to take away an umbrella. Add the usual fare of
bouncy castles,
Camel Train, plus
Bungee Run, a new fun ride for the older children, and other activities complete the fun. What better ways to keep the children occupied while you browse the stalls and enjoy the entertainment.
Take your pick
Handpicked carefully positioned stalls offer a great range of excellent quality home grown and handmade products. Roleystone Markets keep up the variety by only allowing a few of the same types of vendors to trade on the day. The
focus is on handmade, handcrafted arts, crafts and produce. Gift something handcrafted locally rather than mass-produced overseas. Food vendors and Not for Profit groups providing activities ensure
Roleystone Christmas Market is a great family day out.
Free gift-wrapping and pay it forward
Support a local lady who volunteers every year to collect donations for the local Women and Children's Refuge in Gosnells. Pay it forward, bring a gift and receive it wrapped free.
She will be a collection point for donations (non-consumables) and offer
free gift-wrapping for those gifts to the Refuge.
For a
gold coin donation she will gift-wrap any other gifts with all the funds raised going to the Refuge.
Taste the world on a plate
Of the
120 amazing stalls, with many new ones complimenting the regulars; the real standout being the
huge variety of food vendors, an opportunity to
taste the world right here in Roleystone. Below is just a taste of the selection available
Anton's Bratwurst,
Bona Pizza Mobile Woodfired Pizza (always a favourite),
Georges Shishkobab offering traditional Greek Souvlaki,

What would summer be without the

Lolly Bus for the children's Christmas sweet treats, plus bagels from

Cuppa?
