NEW LOCATION - NEW STALL HOLDERS

The Mapleton Country Market invites you all to join them at their new location of the Mapleton State School, 24 Flaxton Drive, Mapleton, with onsite parking available.

The school motto ‘Top of the Range’ well describes its beautiful location, with the early settlers and pioneering families setting themselves the task of providing schooling for their children of which there were 15 students registered.

The historic 1899 first building of the provisional school was also used for public gatherings and social events out of school hours; it marked the beginning of what is now a pleasant rural and park-like environment for students and often the local community.

The markets are proudly supported by the Mapleton and District Community Association (MADCA), a not-for-profit organisation comprised of local citizens that works with residents, community groups and local government to preserve its heritage and outstanding natural environment, and promote this beautiful hinterland village and surrounding districts.

The stallholders love their new location and enjoy the happy country vibe with many local community groups attending.

Come and try the Satay Chicken Kebabs, a new addition to the menu at the Blackall Range Lions Club stand, as well as their egg and bacon rolls, sausage sizzle and cold drinks.
