A RECORD number of stalls are booked for this year’s Young Makers Christmas Market, with people aged from 6 to 25 selling their handmade creations.

The December 3 event is hosted across three Vincent venues to make room for all the interested traders, and 100 stalls are set to spread across the North Perth Main Hall, Lesser Hall, and multicultural gardens.

The surge in stallholders has trumped the previous makers market high of 72 stalls, a record set at last year’s Christmas Makers Markets and precisely matched at the 2023 Mother’s Day Makers Market.

“Our Young Makers Markets are always a hit with the community and our enterprising young people,” Vincent Mayor Alison Xamon said in a press release. “I am looking forward to seeing what Vincent’s young people have prepared and I encourage our community to come along and find some unique gifts.”

Previous stallholder, a young creative named Evelyn, is returning after enjoying the market’s atmosphere, and she’s looking forward to the chance to make some money so she can buy presents for others.

“I love the Christmas fun and feeling at the markets ‚Äî everyone is so happy and it is great to think of ideas to sell to people,” Evelyn said.

“This year, I will be selling bracelets, flowers and some homemade Christmas decorations.”

It’s on December 3 from 8am to 11am at 26-28 View Street, North Perth.
