Willow Court Swapmeet

Last Sunday Willow Court Antique Centre and the Lions club of New Norfolk organised a Swapmeet on the Green behind the Willow Court Antique Centre .

The day started off rainy  but  lots of stalls were set up and customers started to arrive early looking for bargains.

This was about 7.30 am!!

 

There was a bit of everything from clothes to military items,fabric 

furniture,books etc.etc.

 Fortunately the sun came out and people poured in and we had a busy and successful day

and I didn't get chance to take many photos! Apart from the stalls there were many other attractions

A train ride for the children and a jumping castle /slide.

Lots of old engines and cars

These are there permanently on display at Willow Court which is looking very pretty 

and some of the buildings ,now renovated are worth a look.The history around this area is older than Port Arthur .

There are now 8 antiques shops in New Norfolk and lots of other attractions in the area

well worth a days visit if you are over from the mainland on holiday or a local!

The Patchwork Cafe kept us all supplied with food and drinks and the coffee was very good.

so were all the lovely fabrics,buttons and pattern books that are also available

There was also a barbeque set up by the Lions club

we all went home with less than we took and the event is now going to be held on a twice yearly basis.

This was a well run event and I for one look forward to the next one.

So well done Willow Court and The Lions and Thank you.
