The second Burnedale Farm Night Market kicked off the 2025 North Coast events calendar in style last Friday.

The market will become a monthly staple in Salt Rock. The December launch event was such a hit that more food vendors and seating were needed for this month’s event.

“I have just started this market, but there is room for expansion, especially for food vendors,” said founder and organiser, Andrea Kruger. “We have 26 stalls, but there is still space for a dozen more.”

Kruger is also the muscle behind the popular Salt Rock Farmers Market at Claremont Farm in Sheffield Beach.

Both markets are scheduled so as to not clash with other local markets. The Salt Rock Farmers Market is held Thursday mornings, while the Burnedale Night Market is on the first Friday of the month between 4.30 and 8.30pm.

“The night market is different. It has a European street market vibe about it. The lights create a wonderful atmosphere when the sun goes down,” said Kruger.

The market was packed with locals and holidaymakers looking for a family evening out. They enjoyed a night of shopping, live music, and a variety of street food and confectionary.

Burnedale Bistro and Abbiocco, the two independently owned restaurants, offer a formal dining experience for shoppers.

Both restaurants were filled to capacity. Families dined outdoors, while children played in the kiddies’ play area. The gin bar was a huge hit.
