No Market under Level 2 and 25th Anniversary
As announced on Friday, 4/9/20 Thames like most of the country will stay under Alert Level 2 until at least Wednesday, 16th September midnight. So sorry, no market on the 5th and the 12th of September.
A little explanation why we can’t have a market under Level 2:
> Limit of 100 people at outdoor events: a busy market easily reaches 300 people present at peak times.
> Social distancing: 2m distance or even 1m distance between visitors to the market is not practical on the narrow footpaths our stalls are located on.
> Traceability: although we have 6 Tracer QRs displayed, we can’t guarantee that people see them or use them. There are too many access points to the market, actually every car park is an access point.
> Other considerations: residents of Aucklander can freely travel to our market; many of our stallholders and visitors are in the high risk groups - we just don’t want to put what has been achieved in Aotearoa/New Zealand in jeopardy.
So we hope we can reopen Thames Market when we are down to Level 1 again.
25 Years of Thames Market
Many will know that we had planned to celebrate 25 years of Thames Market on September, 5th. As this can’t happen we will have those celebrations on Labour Weekend instead. Thames Market’s 25th anniversary will be celebrated on October, 24th from 8 am to 1 pm. Watch this space.
