Kerikeri's Old Packhouse Market will open on Sundays starting this weekend.
Founded by Judy and Warwick Hyland in a former timber workshop and fruit packing shed on Kerikeri Rd just over three years ago, their Saturday market has since grown into one of the town's biggest weekly shopping and social events.
With 100 stalls, up to 1500 customers and 15 staff — not counting stallholders — it has also become a significant player in the town's economy and a popular visitor attraction.
While the existing Saturday market specialises in Northland-made and grown crafts and produce, Mrs Hyland said Sunday's market would focus on vintage items, collectibles and family fun.
It would include a car boot sale and a car fair — ''we don't think it's a good look to have the roundabout on SH10 used for selling cars'' — as well as arts, crafts and food.
