Stallholder Information

Overview

The Motueka Sunday Market, consisting of 50 stalls, is open each Sunday from 8 am to 1 pm in the centrally located Decks Reserve Carpark. The types of stalls vary each week, but typically include organic produce, seasonal fruits and vegetables, natural juices, freshly baked bread, gourmet foods, sweets, plants, second-hand items, arts and crafts, tarot and palm reading, and massages. Stallholders may book a permanent site for one month at a time or casually on a week-to-week basis by emailing Judy at judy@motuekasundaymarket.co.nz.

Stallholder Guidelines

Stallholders are expected to pay site fees unless absent from the market due to inclement weather, genuine illness, genuine lack of stock, or annual leave. Stallholders must review, sign, and return the Stallholder Terms & Conditions form which is available upon request. The agreement covers Market Rules and General Terms and conditions of entry. If a stallholder operates a food stall and is unsure about licensing requirements for operating ‘Food Stalls and Food Vans,’ they should contact the Tasman District Council or visit www.tasman.govt.nz.

Market Rules and Guidelines

The Market Co-ordinator must be notified of any minor or major grievances immediately. No vehicle movement is allowed between 8 am and 1.15 pm, and vehicles must be removed to either BNZ carpark, Fletcher Vautier Moore carpark, or Sprig and Fern carpark by 8 am. Cooked food cannot be sold without a TDC food license and prior permission from the organizer. The bulk of goods should be displayed on tables, not tarpaulins on the ground, and non-attendance requires a text (no phone messages) prior to 6.30 am on Sunday.

The site must be left clean, and any large, empty cardboard boxes must be removed from the market by the stallholder. Boxes of unwanted clothing are not to be dropped off at the Red Cross quarters. The Motueka Sunday Market Co-ordinator will be available at the Wallace Street Entrance each Sunday at 7 am.

The market is conveniently located in central Motueka, behind the i-Site Visitor Information Centre, and can be accessed via the Decks Reserve Carpark on Wallace Street. The standard stall size is 2.5 m x 2.5 m, and site fees are $35.00 for Casual Stallholders and $30 for Permanent Stallholders. New stallholders are requested to meet the Market Co-ordinator at the Wallace Street Entrance at 7 am on market day, and stallholder entry is between 6 am and 7.45 am, with exit between 1.15 pm and 2.30 pm.
