The City of Holdfast Bay invites young makers, designers and creatives to register their interest in hosting a stall as part of the Glenelg Christmas Pageant, 9.30am - 3.30pm on Sunday 24 November 2024.
The Glenelg Christmas Pageant is a much-loved tradition enjoyed by Holdfast Bay residents and visitors to the city. This year, we are very excited to add a maker market element and welcome your applications!
Young artists, designers and creatives aged 12 – 25 are encouraged to complete an application form and register their interest in hosting an outdoor market stall.
Key Dates:
- Stallholder Applications close
9pm Sunday 20 October 2024
- Artists notified
By Friday 25 October 2024
Please note that your application does not secure a stall. A small selection panel will select the stallholders and notify them.
The trading fee to host a stall at this event will be $20. This amount will be payable upon successful selection as a stallholder.
The event will be held on Sunday 24 November 2024, the same day as the Glenelg Christmas Pageant. The Maker Markets will be set up in Moseley Square.
The selection of applicants is based on the following criteria:
- Original works designed and created by young makers
- Handcrafted, creative and unique works that are not commercially available
- Quality products that reflect innovation and demonstrate skill and creativity
- A quantity of work that will be available for purchase by the market audience
- No reselling of branded commercial items
Your stall must be set up and ready to sell by 9.30am and remaining in place until 3.30pm. This has been timed intentionally around the Pageant and supporting activities.
As a stallholder, you will need to act in accordance with the following conditions
1. Selection
Applications will be carefully considered against the selection criteria. Applicants are not guaranteed acceptance as we have limited stalls available.
2. Stalls
The selection panel will determine stall allocation. Stallholders are responsible for arranging their stall operations, including change, EFT facilities, wrapping, and carry bags for customer purchases. They are encouraged to set up and display their artwork creatively to enhance their products and contribute to the market aesthetic. Please be advised that there is no power available for the stalls.
3. Public Liability
All stallholders are required to have their own public liability insurance to the value of $20,000,000. If you do not already obtain this, you must ensure this has been arranged through the event coordinators before the event.
4. Payment
The fee to hold a stall at the Maker Market event is $20. This will need to be paid before the event. If an application has been deemed successful, a payment link will be sent through.
5. Products
Please make sure that the description on your application is accurate and covers all works intended for sale. Product descriptions must cover the full range of works intended for sale. This is to maintain the balance of products available and protect the unique quality of products sold.
6. Times
Stallholder set-up times will be communicated with the successful vendors. Market stalls must be set up and ready to sell by 9.30am. Stallholders are not permitted to pack up prior to 3.30pm. The market will close at 3.30pm.
7. Site
You will be provided with a stall site located within the designated Maker Market section (Moseley Square area) at Glenelg. A marquee labelled with your stall name will be supplied and set up for you. You will need to supply your own trestle table and chair(s). All stall equipment, including signage, must be contained within the boundaries of your site to ensure that your stall is non-obtrusive to other stallholders and leave public access clear at all times.
8. Environment & Waste
To reduce waste, stallholders are asked to consider using recycled and/or recyclable packaging. They are also expected to clean up after themselves and ensure their site is left in good condition. Stallholders are required to remove all waste at the end of the day.
9. Promotion & Publicity
Any promotion of the event will be conducted by the City of Holdfast Bay, your assistance in channeling any comment to media through Council to ensure consistency will be appreciated. The City of Holdfast Bay reserves the right to photograph the market and stall holders and document the project for unlimited use in publications promoting the city.
Applicants will be notified of the outcome by Friday 25 October at the latest.
Apply to be part of the Maker Market
Absolutely. Any money made by your sales during the market is yours to keep.

A selection panel will curate the final selection of makers against the specified selection criteria. The panel will include the Youth Coordinator and members of the HoldUp Youth Committee. Applicants are not guaranteed acceptance as we have limited stalls available and will prioritise diversity of goods.
Council will supply a 3 x 3 marquee for each stallholder. You must supply your own table, chair(s), visual merchandising and items for sale. Stallholders are also responsible for arranging stall operations, including change, EFT facilities, wrapping, and carry bags for customer purchases. All stallholders are required to have their own public liability insurance to the value of $20,000,000. If you have not already obtained this, we encourage you to reach out to us, and we can discuss the options available.
We have listened to your feedback from previous maker market events. Instead of creating a specific event for young makers, we will join forces with one of our most popular and family-friendly free community events. This means an increased audience to engage with and promote your stall. We’re really excited to partner on this event and increase the opportunities for young people in our community!
