Announcement

There was a change of management earlier this year with 4 dates originally booked by the previous owner at the Showgrounds: May, July, October and December.

Due to ongoing challenges, we made the decision to postpone May and at the same time, no longer proceed with the July date as we already had other event commitments. Therefore we were planning to relaunch in August.

We recently cancelled our relaunch event in August and had already refunded booked site holders, communicated with the venue and provided an update.

We then sent out this email to any site holder who had submitted an EOI to us about joining us this year. This is the screen shot in this post.

We have been made aware of posts and comments online etc which aren't correct. Therefore we are posting just one of many updates provided to site holders and stall holders who have submitted an EOI.

The booked site holders were provided a more detailed update behind the scenes (which they should be).

Some of our challenges in taking over this event was shared in May however we did not think posting about the ongoing challenges was necessary, as we made a business decision after communicating with the site holders.

We are only a small team with family and other commitments. We explained this with the change over in the stall holder groups.

We love events and working with small businesses to create events which the community can enjoy. As this event had been for sale for more than 12 months, and no one had purchased it, we purchased the event to ensure that it could continue on.

Our contact hours were communicated in the stall holder groups, approval emails sent to site holders, via our auto reply on our page when you message us, auto reply with emails and our voicemail. We are usually in the office on Fridays and am not online all the time.

There is alot of behind the scenes work which many do not see, however we are committed to bringing another amazing community event to the Toowoomba Showgrounds. Thank you to everyone for their support, we appreciate it.

The Makers Markets - Toowoomba apologises to everyone who came out to the showgrounds to support our Market and Local Handmade businesses this afternoon.

We were made aware late this afternoon that the incorrect details were published by The Chronicle in an article about Things to Do this weekend.

We have sent a message to The Chronicle to ask about the inclusion of incorrect information. We will discuss this further to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Yes we are back again however not until later this year. Our Launch Market is 15th August and we’d love to see everyone support local handmaide businesses, creators and bakers at our 3 Twilight Markets this year.

Please follow our page for the most up to date info about whats to see and do. Plus our online events for each date - The Makers Markets - Toowoomba Twilight Markets

Our Launch event isnt until August, we apologise for the inconvenience with delaying the launch.

All booked site holders were updated last month and FB promos updated to the new date.

The website dates were taken down as they were incorrect and were based on the original markets owners booked dates. We’ve made changes since taking ownership. Thanks everyone.
