Street market on festival day

Although the Bluff Oyster & Food Festival will be the main attraction in Bluff on Saturday, May 25, there will also be a street market in town that day.

The monthly Thieves Alley Market, a regular feature on the Bluff events calendar, is also held in Gore St, Bluff, from 10am to approximately 2pm. If demand is high, the market will remain open a little later.

A wide variety of craft stalls are hosted on Bluff's main street, under the shelter of storefront verandas at the Oyster Allsorts site, just to the east of the Golden Age Tavern and Hayz at the Anchorage Restaurant, with many unique wares .

Bluff Promotions is also organizing a small exhibition of some Oyster Sack garments from previous oyster festivals in the Oyster Allsorts premises.

The fashion wear is no longer part of the festival, but used to be part of what was known as the Creativity Awards every year. The display will be a trip down memory lane for those who remember that event.

Anyone wishing to have a stall on the day can contact Frazer Murdoch on 027 8506-261 or [email protected]
