Please note: We have regulars who come to the market every week, regardless of the weather. They are the backbone of the market and we will hold their sites. They usually arrive before casuals and do advise us if they are not coming.

Please be kind to those setting up the market. We are all volunteers of Coastguard North Shore simply wanting to raise money to keep us operational 24/7. In fact, we may have been on the water helping "Save Lives at Sea" prior to coming to the market.

Do you want to  donate to Coastguard North Shore to help us Save Lives at Sea 24/7.
