Forest Hill Boutique Market

Wow, what a great success our first Forest Hill Boutique market was. Thank you to all the stallholders who had faith in us... and the customers who supported and shopped local. With everything Forest Hill and surrounding areas have been through, it's great to know that the local towns supported this fantastic market.

Held in the gorgeous School of Arts building, we had such an amazing space to work with, indoors and outdoors. With 30 stallholders to grace this beautiful area, they did an amazing job to fill it all with their beautiful, colourful stalls and handmade wares.

The customers came in their droves, with no available car parks left and customers having to park and walk from town.

The Handmade Expo team set the tea room up to give the customers a pink, quality devonshire tea experience, which they loved and kept coming back for more. A big thank you to our Grandma and Miriam's mum for her help all day with the devonshire teas... I don't think we realised how big of a job it was actually going to be... without her - we would have been struggling I think.

With thousands of customers, a beautiful day (a tad windy actually by the afternoon) and a lovely country town The Handmade Expo, Forest Hill Boutique Market will definitely be back!

Thank you FOREST HILL!








We hope you enjoy the photo's.
