IMPORTANT NOTICE re: COVID-19 Virus
Due to the current government restrictions regarding outdoor events, the
Browns Bay Sunday Market will be closed until further notice.
We apologise to everyone, but we all have a responsibility to minimise the spread and effect of the virus and the market is no different to any other outdoor gathering such as a sports game, car show, etc.
On behalf of Coastguard North Shore and the Browns Bay Market Charitable Trust, we look forward, once the virus is under control, to reopen the best second hand market in Auckland.
Regards,
Debbie and Chris,
Managers. c: 0274 823 455
