Well… the weather has won this round too!

We have really tried, we have watched the forecasts, crossed our fingers and hoped that things would change — but unfortunately, the weather is simply not giving us a break!

As much as we are disappointed, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the St Francis Market once again.

We are truly sorry to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us this weekend. We know how much our market means to our stallholders, our visitors and our wonderful St Francis community — and we were really hoping to finally get together.

But there is some good news!
10 October is currently looking absolutely beautiful — sunny skies and no rain forecast!

So let’s put the rain behind us, keep those fingers crossed and look forward to a beautiful morning under the trees with our favourite stallholders, delicious food, local goodies, good friends and, of course, a hot cup of coffee.

We can’t wait to finally ~ Shop . Explore . Connect ~ with you all!

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support.

A little sad news from the St Francis Market…

We have been watching the weather very closely and, sadly, the forecast is still showing a 60%–80% chance of rain during our market hours this Saturday.

We kept hoping the forecast would change — checking all the weather apps and crossing our fingers for a little bit of sunshine — but unfortunately, Mother Nature has other plans!

As much as we hate to miss out on the long and the Calamari Classic weekend, the Market Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone this Saturday’s market.

❤️ BUT… we’re not cancelling — we’re moving!

NEW MARKET DATE: - Saturday, 3 October 2026

We are so sorry to disappoint everyone who was looking forward to spending the long weekend with us. We were too! But we would much rather wait for a beautiful morning when we can all enjoy the market properly — under the trees, with our wonderful stallholders, happy shoppers, good food and, of course, a hot cup of coffee.

So please save the new date and come join us on 3 October!

With the weather forecast predicting strong westerly winds for this Saturday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the St Francis Market.

While we were looking forward to celebrating Women's Day weekend with you, the safety and comfort of our stallholders, shoppers and visitors must always come first. Strong winds and an outdoor market simply aren't a good combination.

Our market has been rescheduled to Saturday, 15 August.

The good news is that all your favourite stallholders will still be there with fresh produce, delicious treats, handcrafted products and plenty of friendly smiles—we'll just be welcoming you one week later.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We know many of you were looking forward to spending Saturday morning with us, and we can't wait to see you next weekend instead.

August is here, bringing with it the promise of fresh beginnings, beautiful winter days, and the celebration of Women's Month.

As we look forward to our St Francis Market next Saturday, 8 August, we're taking a moment to celebrate the incredible women who make our market so special. From the talented stallholders who pour their hearts into creating beautiful products, to the growers, bakers, makers, volunteers, and the wonderful women who come to shop, support and connect – thank you for being such an important part of our market family.

But no celebration is complete without recognising the husbands, partners, families, friends and all the wonderful men who stand alongside these amazing women, encouraging, supporting and sharing in the journey. Community is built together, and we're grateful for each and every one of you.

So, save the date and join us on Saturday, 8 August, as we celebrate local talent, friendship, good food, fresh produce, handmade treasures, and the wonderful community that makes the St Francis Market such a special place.
