Australian National Field Days (ANFD) manager Jayne West said the markets were a good opportunity to utilise the site and to support Borenore community groups and the small businesses who had done it tough during the pandemic.

"[The Borenore site is] ideal because we've got power to every site, we've got tarred roads [and] we've got grass sites, so all the infrastructures already here, so it's quite easy to actually do a market day," Mrs West said.

"We've got lots of food and we've got a couple of the local vineyards [and breweries] actually coming and doing tastings... [Including] Pioneer Brewery, Four Acres Cider and Tamburlaine [Organic Wines] which are all local around us here at Borenore - and that's what we're trying to do with [the markets] - support local."

The family market day will have over 150 stalls selling "every product you can think of", as well as jumping castles, Mrs West added.

"We are encouraging visitors from outside of our area who are visiting the cellar doors and family to come and shop local and take home some local products."

ANFD's Sunday Christmas Markets on December 5 will run from 9am to 3pm at the Borenore Field Days site.

The COVID-safe event will involve all the usual protocols. Shoppers must be fully-vaccinated to attend. Entry is a gold coin donation and dogs are welcome but must be on leads.
