The safety and well-being of our stallholders, visitors, and staff are our top priority. In the event of extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain, high winds, or extreme heat (temperatures reaching 38°C or higher), the event organizers will assess the situation and may decide to postpone or cancel the market.
Cancellation or Postponement Decision:
- The decision to cancel or postpone the market will be made by the event coordinators, who will closely monitor weather reports and conditions.
- The decision will be communicated as soon as possible, typically no later than 4 hours before the event starts. If adverse weather develops during the event, the market may be canceled or closed early for safety reasons.

Heavy Rain: If rain becomes torrential or if there is significant risk of flooding, the event may be canceled or postponed.
High Winds: If wind speeds reach over 40km/h, stallholders with outdoor setups may be required to pack down early, as high winds can cause damage to equipment, marquees, and display items.
Extreme Heat: If temperatures reach 35°C or higher, the market may be canceled or rescheduled for the safety of participants and attendees.

Stallholders will be notified via email, phone, or text message as soon as the decision is made to cancel or postpone the event. It is essential that stallholders keep their contact details up to date during the application process.
Notifications will also be posted on the event’s official website and social media channels for public awareness.
