Whangārei's popular Artisan Fair Market has returned for the season, this time in a different location.

Local artists now offer their crafts in front of Reyburn House after having moved from the Canopy Bridge to allow for construction of the New Town Basin Park.

Marketgoers will be able to explore the colourful exhibitions every Saturday until April 2020.

Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along for the launch on Labour Weekend.
