Tawa Lions Saturday Market - 9am to 2pm

Market Manager from Tawa Lions Club

The Tawa Lions Saturday market is now in its 12th year, having sold several million eggs, several tonnes of honey and countless numbers of second-hand books. Each year we raise around $30,000 which is distributed to local causes first, but also regional, national and international causes through our affiliation with over 1.4 million Lion members worldwide. Mr Van Bui is also there every week selling fresh fruit and vegetables, some of which come from his property in Levin. This market operates every Saturday Morning of the year except when Christmas day and New Years day fall on a Saturday.

We sell honey and free-range eggs. The eggs come from a local co-operative distributor in packs of 6 (not 4), 12 (not 10), 18 and 24 and trays of 30 (not 20). The more you buy the less you pay per egg. The honey we sell comes from Helens Honey in the Wairarapa with creamed Meadow (light like clover) and Bush (stronger flavour). This week we also have Waireka (Manawatu) Honey Dew (liquid) honey available for tasting and purchase.

We are looking to diversify the range of goods on offer to our customers. We have a solid base of regular customers but there is room to diversify. While we value casual stallholders looking to sell from their car boot, we are most interested in businesses wishing to attend each week with additional products to sell. We offer trial periods and our weekly fees are priced to attract new stallholders.

Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the generosity of Outlet City in allowing us to use their site.
