A Festival of Fairs
Musgrave Road is the destination for bargain hunters, browsers and shopaholics with both Musgrave Methodist and St Thomas Churches hosting fairs, just a stone's throw apart from each other.
Operating times have been synchronised, with St Thomas opening its doors at 8.30am for early birds and Musgrave Methodist opening its doors at 10.30am in time for morning tea and wrapping up at 2.30pm.
Musgrave Methodist is doing a Christmas in July theme and will be hanging out their tinsel, munching on mince pies and pulling their Christmas crackers while the St Thomas Market will boast fashion, craft stalls, jewelry, books, cakes, sweets, fruit and veg and preserves.
And for those who really want to make a festival of fairs, there is also the regular St Olav Market and the weekly Essenwood Market, both nearby.
Where: Musgrave Methodist and St Thomas Churches in Musgrave.
When: Saturday.
