On Saturday the 8th of February, the first market for the new year will be held at Conroy Hall, located at 41 Mcilwraith Street, Ingham, with Rita Phillips and the entire market committee more than excited to welcome the community back to the treasured monthly event. One of many wonderful markets held within the Hinchinbtook Shire, the Ingham Conroy Hall Markets was once the only market in town, with its debut held just over 50 years ago.
Today, the all-weather market hosts a world of stalls, retailing a great selection of crafts, jewellery, plants, antiques, books, clothing and more.
“We sell cakes, and homemade goodies like jams, biscuits, and we serve a very good full breakfast as well with our bacon and egg toasties that are always a hit,” shared Rita.
To begin with a bang, Luke, the locally loved guitarist, will treat attendees to his talents throughout the market’s February debut with following markets to host performances by young music students.
Rita invites all those interested in becoming a stallholder to reach out to her on 0417 792 602 for more information. All upcoming market events for 2025 are outlined in our fantastic event guide!
