🌺 Community Spirit on Display in Jamestown 🌺

The Jamestown Development Association would like to give a heartfelt shout out to Jamestown Furniture & Electrical for their beautiful ANZAC Day window display.

Created in collaboration with our local RSL members, the display was a moving tribute that reflected the true spirit of remembrance and respect. It’s wonderful to see our local businesses and community groups coming together to honour such an important occasion.

Now that the display has been taken down, we’re looking forward to seeing what they have planned next… 👀💐

💖 Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to see how the window is transformed to celebrate all the amazing mums in our community.

🌼 Support Local this Easter at the Jamestown Markets 🌼

This Easter, we invite everyone from Jamestown and the surrounding districts to come together and support the wonderful local stallholders who make our markets possible.

Our stallholders are small businesses, makers, growers and creatives who put their heart into what they do — and the Easter Markets are a fantastic way to show them your support while enjoying a great morning out with family and friends.

Bring the kids, enjoy the fresh autumn air, grab a coffee or breakfast, browse the stalls and spend some time in the Kidz Zone packed with Easter fun and games.

Every visit helps strengthen our community and helps us build the Jamestown Markets into a vibrant event that attracts visitors from across the region.

Let’s make this Easter Market one to remember by showing up and supporting local 💛

📍 Memorial Park, Jamestown
🗓 Sunday 5 April
⏰ Markets from approx. 8:30am – 1pm
☕ Breakfast & coffee served after the Easter service

Come along, bring your family and friends, and help us create a market our whole community can be proud of.
