THE Inglewood summer night markets will start Monday December 8 and run till March.

They are the brainchild of Inglewood on Beaufort Street, a nascent community group spearheaded by Mondo’s Vince Garreffa.

Deputy chair Matt Seabrook says a development application has just been approved by Stirling city council.

The night markets will consist of food vans, fruit and veg and artisan and food stalls and run Mondays from 6–9.30pm between Sixth and Tenth Avenues, on pavements outside Bunnings, Mondo Butchers, Inglewood Civic Centre and Westpac.

“We’re hoping to get between 30 and 50 stall holders on board for the first market,” says Mr Seabrook.

“After that it would be great to get more and we are encouraging people to sign up.

“We did a bit of research and found that weekends were saturated with other markets, plus, people tend to be free on a Monday night and have time to pop down.”

The markets come hot on the heels of the Mt Hawthorn Hawkers market which operates in Vincent Friday nights.
