Due to progress on the much-anticipated tram construction, the Nambour Rummagers Market is relocating to the heart of Nambour CBD.

The market is moving from the tram terminal near Coles, to the Sunshine Coast Council/Nambour Library Forecourt on the corner of Currie and Bury Street from March 24.

Following markets will be held on the third Sunday of every month from 9-12pm.

“With the Tram Bogies due for build completion by mid this year and on the tracks in the Terminal by July, the Terminal will become somewhat of a build-site,” said Nambour Tram Co Director Greg Rogerson. “We hope to have open days, with a viewing deck, open to the public, so they can watch the tram being built from the ground up and with Rhonda (Billett) looking to grow the Nambour Rummagers Market for the community and Tram Co., we decided that expanding the Rummagers Markets into Currie Street was a good all round idea for the Tram Terminal and the Nambour Community.”

Tram and market momentum

“Im excited to expand on the Rummagers market foundations, we have worked hard on getting momentum for the market over the last two years and the concept is certainly ready to grow into its next stage,” said organsier Rhonda Billett.  

“We are currently looking for stall holders and we are not limiting ourselves to just $5 suitcase sites.  We will have marquee sites for $20 and are looking for produce, plants, preloved, vintage, homemade and handmade stallholders.   

“Locals and Tourists can come on down to one of our cool cafes here in the hinterland for a coffee, some breakfast or brunch and stroll through the markets,” Rhonda said.

“I will be looking for people to also volunteer and assist with the concept as it grows in its new home. We want vibrancy in our CBD and bringing the market to the main street will hopefully be successful and fun for the volunteers who want to get involved.” 

Stall holders can book a site by messaging Nambour Rummagers Market on Facebook or via the www.IamNambour.com.au and follow the markets page.

• Follow the markets via Nambour Rummagers Market or Nambour Tram on Facebook or Instagram. The concept is supported by a working relationship between the Nambour Tram Way Company and Sunshine Coast Council’s Economic Develpoment team.
