We proceed in all weather, except extreme or dangerous conditions. Decision to cancel the market is based on safety only, not on trading opportunity. If the market is cancelled, all stalls will be ‘rolled over’ to the next week. No refunds are offered. Cancellation and other announcements will be made via the closed Faceook group “Turra Produce Chat” and posted on Facebook, Instagram and www.turraproduce.com.au
It is your responsibility to check all these sources.

Bump In is from 6 a.m. on the morning of the market, those stallholders who require shade, and have appropriately allocated stalls, may keep their cars directly behind their stalls provided they arrive early enough to enable them to park there without inconveniencing other stallholders and/or market visitors.
ALL other vehicles MUST be taken off the Oval by 7:45 a.m. – parking is available along Turramurra Avenue. Stallholders arriving after 7:30 a.m. will need to park on the street & carry their equipment/products onto the oval.

Signage – All signage must be within the confines of your stall, or at management’s discretion, in other allocated promotion areas.
Food stalls – ALL FOOD STALLS MUST CARRY A WORKING FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

Drop off/pick up access is provided through the Karuah Road gates which are unlocked at 6 a.m. and will be unlocked again after 1 p.m. This is a safety requirement and no allowances will be made. Stallholder parking is in adjoining streets. Do NOT use the angled parking on Karuah Road – this is a council requirement.
