Flea Market 28 Oct 2023

Turramurra Community Flea Market

Saturday 28th October 2023

Our Flea Market has a real community atmosphere which we are immensely proud of.  This year we welcome community to come and join in this fantastic twice-yearly event (May & October) in new ways.  We have openings for volunteers to assist in the setting up (and, less exciting is the packing up) of the Flea Market.  If you are interested, you don’t need to be a member of our church, please ‘sign-up’ here. We are looking forward to our ‘regulars’ who come from far and wide ready to buy, sell, eat, meet old friends and experience the fun and atmosphere of the Turramurra Community Flea Market.

The biggest change to the Flea Market post-covid is that we are now only accepting dropping off goods for donation on THURSDAY 26th OCTOBER from 9am-9pm – please check our list of items we can & can’t accept.  If we spot any items on the ‘can’t accept’ list, unfortunately we will need to send them back home with you.

DONATE & Drop-off Goods: Thursday 26th October ONLY  9am – 9pm
at the Turramurra Uniting complex, enter via the car park.

We’ll try to find a new home for your recycled treasure, bric-a-brac, crockery, utensils, china, glassware, books, clothes / shoes / bags, toys & sports, plants.
