Did you know that Brisbane will soon welcome its third farm fresh market, set to open at the historic St Stephen’s Cathedral?
Goodwill Projects, a dynamic events and venues company, is partnering with St Stephen Cathedral Catholic Parish to give the city a new farm fresh market, set to open on Tuesday, 12 Sept 2023. The market, which runs from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., will continue every Tuesday thereafter.
The St Stephen’s Cathedral market is set to be a hub for community initiatives, providing a platform for people to come together, socialise, and enjoy a safe, outdoor, and welcoming atmosphere. This vision aligns seamlessly with the essence of both the parish and the markets, fostering a sense of community and inclusivity.
What to Expect at St Stephen’s Markets
What sets a market apart are its vendors, artisans, farmers, growers, makers, bakers, designers, and artists who believe that no idea is too small and encourage thinking big.
According to Goodwill Projects, in Australia, small to medium-sized enterprises account for a significant portion of the economy, often starting with a simple idea, skill, or passion. The company aims to turn these ideas, dreams, and passions into reality whilst transforming iconic spaces into bustling, vibrant, and inclusive markets across South East Queensland.
As the project prepares forits grand opening, visitors can look forward to an array of enticing offerings from a diverse range of vendors. These are just some of the carefully curated stalls that promise to provide an exceptional shopping and dining experience that reflects the market’s commitment to quality and variety.
