Treasuring the move

The Lions monthly Trash n Treasure market is unlikely to move back into town in the next few weeks given its success at Hautapu’s Memorial Park.

More than 130 stall holders and about 2000 plus punters attended the Cambridge event on Sunday.

Market spokesperson Pat Whyte, who took over responsibility for the market last year after it moved from town during Covid red light rules, said the Lions’ club constantly reviewed its options.

“That’s always possible (to move back) but that’s not on the cards at the moment,” he said.

“It’s really busy down there. You can go in and go anywhere you like. It’s a big area so it can expand in all directions.”

The market, which is held on the second Sunday of every month from 9am to 1pm, has raised thousands of dollars for Cambridge over 25 years.

Stallholders come from around the upper North Island selling a wide variety of goods from handmade items, produce, plants, preloved products and collectibles.

It has grown to be bigger than the Tamahere market which is held every third Saturday of the month.
