Sustainable Papakura Market

Our Sustainable Market makes a vibrant addition to the Town Centre. Ably organised by Trust member Paula Kroese, this is a place to pause and shop your heart out. Its also the place to  enjoy socialising, and talking sustainability as a community.  

This Market began in 2013 as the colourful Homemade Market, outside the Pahurehure Shopping Centre. In 2015,  re branded, the Handmade Market celebrated its 2nd birthday at its new indoor venue at the Papakura Recreation Centre with 40 stall holders attending on a regular basis. Now the market operates under its new name, ‘Sustainable Papakura Market’, in the very accessible Library Foyer in the Papakura Town Centre. 

A great local sustainable market, showcasing local art, craft,small businesses,sustainable products and sustainable workshops.
Every 3rd Saturday of the month, from the foyer of Papakura Library, Great South Road/East Street, Papakura from 10.00 am to 1.00 pm.

The markets goal is to create a community hub where people can come to learn more about going sustainable / plastic free but also seeing what talented artists and crafters we have on offer in the community.  We like to support other community groups and organisations, the small way we do this is offering a space at each market to help groups with fundraising.

We have a selection of sustainable living items to purchase: beeswax wraps, various reusable bags (shopping, produce, freezer, bakery goods), craft/gardeners aprons.
