Market that will give back to community
• By Fiona Ellis
A MARKET with a community
focus is set to open this Saturday,
making the long-held wish of one
of its organisers a reality.
The Northern Community
Market will be held at Northcote
School, and a portion of funds
raised at the event will also be
donated to the school.
Market secretary Stephanie
Heaver said the idea of a market
was to give back to the community.
“I thought ‘this will be good:
get everyone together and then
we can put the proceeds back
out into the community again,”
Heaver said.
The idea of a local market for
northern Christchurch had been
in the back of Heaver’s mind for a
long time.
She had lived in the area for 20
years and had always wanted one,
she said.
Finally, she sprung into action
after reading an online comment
asking why the area did not have
one, she said.
“Other markets have been
doing rather well throughout
Christchurch.
“Let’s just do it.”
Initially, funds raised
would go towards meeting
needs at the Northcote School,
for example, sports equipment,
she said.
As the fortnightly market
became more established it would
also look for other causes to support.
“We pay all our bills and things
first and then over and above that
we can divvy out what we need to
put into other things.
“We want to get as much back
out to the community as we can.”
The first market would have
about 40 or 50 stallholders, selling
a variety of products.
“It ranges from fruit and veg,
arts and crafts, homemade products,
car boot sales, food stalls, all
sorts of things.”
She would be among the
stallholders, selling her own
handiwork, such as “mandala
type” wall hangings.
The opening of the market
had been pushed back due to
Covid-19, but she was excited
that the vision she and others had
been working towards was finally
set to become reality.
Opening at 10am, the market
would run until 4pm and would
adhere to pandemic alert level
regulations.
ALL SET: Secretary of the
Northern Community
Market Stephanie Heaver
is organising the market’s
opening and will also have
her own crafts stall.

Jayne and I would like to thank you for the work you’ve done to get us where
we are today. Bit of a blur really. Every step in the process has gone into
achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and
professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along
with the marketing campaign all leading to a great property to present to
the market. These aspects all set the scene perfectly for the open homes and
visits leading to today’s outstanding auction result. Quiet night tonight but
sure there will be a few celebratory drinks later in the week.
