Santa’s elves will be back selling their wares at Caroline Bay later this month.
The Kids’ Big Christmas Market will be back for a second year, and this year’s event is set to be bigger and better than the last, with 55 stalls being run by more than 80 children.
A whole host of items will be found at the event, from slime and jewellery right through to baking and hot mini pancakes.
One of the stall holders back for a second year was Micaylla Westerby Roberts.
Event organiser Naomi Fai Fai said Micaylla had told her mother ‘‘straight after last year’s market’’ that she loved it and wanted to do it again.
‘‘She’s back selling baking.’’
As for Rocco Silva, he had been happy — at last year’s event — to make the rest of the money he needed to buy a 3-D printer.
Miss Fai Fai said ‘‘He is now back selling 3-D printed keyrings and fidgets.’’
Siblings Chase and Yuri Gonzales-Vidal have been crafting candles with their mother’s help for this year’s event.
Yuri said he was saving for the future.
The pair were donating $1 from every candle sold to South Canterbury Hospice.
The event will take place on November 23 at Caroline Bay Hall from 10am to 1pm.
The market is free entry, and is cash only.
