My Kids Market is your local market to buy, sell and recycle pre-loved and new baby and kids goods! A place where families, small businesses and local services can come together in a fun and friendly community atmosphere…

Whether you’re a savvy shopper looking for baby and kids bargains, a family wanting to give a new home to the clothes and toys your children have outgrown, or a business wanting to make a local impact with your products, My Kids Market is a win-win!

SHOP – You will find just about everything for boys and girls and all with huge savings as families recycle gently used items that their kids have outgrown.

Our Stallholders are Mums and Dads who have chosen to pass on pre loved items including clothing, shoes, toys, puzzles, books, prams, bikes, cots, highchairs as well as other nursery and maternity items instead of adding them to landfill giving shoppers the opportunity to snap up many of the popular baby and kids brands for a fraction of the retail price in sizes ranging from newborn to tween.

Plus at every event you’ll have the opportunity to browse a selection of small business stalls showcasing their unique new/handmade goods and services often with exclusive Market Day specials!

No two markets are the same with new sellers at each market, you will discover something different at every event!

HOST a STALL – Pre Loved and Business Stalls welcome!

Pre Loved Stalls – Recycle gently used items your kids have outgrown for cash instead of adding to landfill! Stalls from $60 includes a trestle table and market insurance!

Business Stalls – Showcase your unique baby & kids brand or service to hundreds of local mums, dads, grandparents and parents to be! Stalls from $120 includes a trestle table, market insurance and social media!
