Excess Baggage: Paddington Secondhand Market

Patricia and Jillian from the BrisWest Centre.

Spring will be in the air in August - so clean out your cupboards and join us at the Spring Market of Excess Baggage. Don't miss out and buy a table to be part of this iconic secondhand market. You not only get an opportunity to recycle your things, make some money but also be part of a convivial market. It is always a great day. Tables range from $20 to $50.00. On the day you may win a free table. So you never know you might win back your investment.
We will also have music, a cafe in the hall and a sauage sizzle outside and a raflle with great prizes. 
All funds raised from the market go towards the rennovation of the BrisWest Centre which is owned by the Brisbane West Senior Citizens Centre, which is  a volunteer NFP organisation. We are a community business creating an amazing community space for the community.

 Do you have racks that we can hire?
 No, we don't. You'll need to bring your own rack.

Market Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in the Excess Baggage: Paddington Secondhand Market. Following is a list of guidelines set out to help you when you become involved in these markets.
 Our Vision
 The BrisWest Centre is an enduring establishment that has served the senior community for over 40 years. In 2014, the centre began re-inventing itself to welcome new generations to iconic Paddington. In the spirit of this, we commenced the Paddington Boutique Fair as one initiative, and the Excess Baggage Paddington Secondhand Markets is yet another.
 Setting Up
 The BrisWest Centre will be available for set-up from 7:00am on the morning of the market. We aim to achieve a space in which you can show off your secondhand goods and we provide each stallholder with a table and a chair. Each stallholder is also able to bring their own rack. One rack per paid ticket.
 Setting Down
 Please do not start packing up until the specified closing time of 3:00pm. Packing up early sends a message to shoppers that we're closing and can impact on other stallholders' patronage.
 Hanging Racks
 You are able to bring ONE (1) clothing rack to place next to your table. In order to ensure there is enough space for people to look through your rack, and that your rack is not encroaching into the general walkway, we ask that you bring a hanging rack that is no longer than 120cm. Please do not bring two clothing racks unless you've bought two tables. You may bring a hatstand in place of a hanging rack if you wish. If you do not want a table then you can have two racks.
 Vehicle Access &amp; Parking
 You may use the parking area in the front of the centre to unload stock on the morning of the market until 8:30am. Please note there won't be much in the way of parking on the actual morning because our outside stalls will be already set-up by then. Please understand that there will be other stallholders wishing to use the space so unloading stock as timely as possible would be appreciated.
After you have unloaded your things, your best bet for parking longer than two hours around Paddington is the side streets off Latrobe Terrace.
