Almost 3000 people walked through the gates during the day to take advantage of the 79 stalls, braving the hot sun.
Market co-ordinator John Templeman said cold drinks were in high demand.
“It was quite busy [on Sunday] morning, but the heat kept people away in the afternoon,” he said.
Kris Lear, of 8aesthetix in Cudal, was one of the stallholders – the Anson Street School art therapist designs skateboards, limiting the artwork to eight boards.

“I want to inspire youth to be unique and artistic.”
