Throughout summer, The Green Marquee will make the most of balmy evenings and host a twilight market  at The Eco Village in Currumbin Valley on the second Friday of the month, except when that damn rain messes with things. So, here is the rescheduled market!

So, what’s in store? Well, aside from its enviable Currumbin Valley location, you’ll find everything from homewares, fashion, art and beauty, plus food trucks, coffee, live music and kids entertainment – but this isn’t your usual market. The Green Marquee focuses on showcasing environmentally friendly businesses with a shine toward products that are handmade, natural, eco-friendly, sustainable, recycled and locally made.

The new Currumbin eco market is the brainchild of The Eco Village residents Claire Dryden and Samuel McCulloch, who set out to create a market to offer Gold Coast residents a one-stop shop for eco-friendly products and homewares. You can expect everything from recycled furniture and organic baby skin care, to hanging plants and sustainable jewellery. There will also be food trucks, coffee and lots to keep the hunger at bay. The market will operate alongside the established Ground Grocer Co-op, which sells fresh fruit and vegetables from its premises within The Eco Village. Jump over here to follow The Green Marquee.
