Some of Fortitude Valley’s little-known laneways are about to be thrust into the public gaze, courtesy of a new concept called the Valley Laneway Markets .
The laneway markets in the Valley’s heartland will be an independently run market, with the main objective to support existing traders and attract more people to the Valley Heart, while offering a platform for emerging and individual designers to showcase their work.
The Valley Laneway markets will begin on Sunday August 8, and the people behind the concept say it will become the premier destination for a diverse shopping experience and a fantastic opportunity to pick up something unique.
Stall spaces are filling fast and the markets will launch with around 60 stalls. Every Sunday will host various different entertainment – supporting emerging music, comedy and the performing arts.
The laneway markets will aim to bring back the quintessential Sunday session. The laneway market stalls will be a combination of emerging fashion designers, artists, musicians, accessory designers and cutting edge artisans.
The markets will also have pre-loved oddities – with a section of the laneway dedicated to a unique pre-loved wall.
Anyone interested in becoming a stallholder in the new markets can download an application form online at www.valleylanewaymarkets.com.
