Really Really Free Market New Years Clean Out – Book a Table
18 February, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Give your things away to someone who needs them. Find yourself a treasure. It’s all Really Really Free at Tassie’s most generous market.
About the event
The Really Really Free Market (RRFM) is a community gathering based on the concept of giving. It is a demonstration of building community based on sharing resources, abundance, reuse, recycling, caring for one another and improving the collective lives of all.
Everything is 100% free! By booking a table, you will receive a 2mx2m space for your activity, trestle table and chair.
Council reserves the right to refuse a site to items deemed inappropriate. You will need to take home or donate anything that hasn’t been given away at the end of the event.
Come and share your stuff (books, CDs, toys, clothes, food, excess produce, plant cuttings, seeds etc) or skills (massage, reflexology, poetry writing, singing, repairing things etc) by giving them to others who need them.
By sharing, we are reducing consumption and waste of our natural resources, re-using what we don’t need by passing it on, and most importantly, showing everyone that there are more sustainable and generous ways to live.
