Panania Markets

The Panania Markets are held on the second Saturday of every month (except January), from 9:00am to 1:30pm, and are held in the grounds of the Panania Library. Apart from being a colourful community event, where stall holders are able to display a wide variety of craft goods, food, and information, the Markets are also an eagerly anticipated event by the local community. And - not least of all - the funds raised help the Rotary Club of Padstow to support important community activities.

	The markets are held in the grounds of the Library.
	The Rotary Club is itself a stall holder, selling barbecue foods.
	A stall sells wooden items, the one next to it sells quilts.
	The tree-shaded pathway with seats provides opportunities to relax.
	Items of baby clothing are just part of the variety of the stalls.
	Another stall holder shows what can be done with photographs.
	The variety of goods, the ambience of the Library grounds, and the closeness to the shopping centre all draw people to the Markets.
	Beautiful artificial flowers are hard to distinguish from the real thing...
	...but equally beautiful examples of the real thing are available too.
	We change the crew on the barbecue from time to time.
	The "lavender lady" has gone all out to provide a theme for her products.
	Another stall holder provides a wide variety of china goods.
	And another stall holder selling sugar-coated nuts ...
	... shows how it's done.
	While one church provides information ...
	...another sells craft goods.
	Part of the attraction of the Markets is being able to find products (in this case, natural soaps) that the 'chains' won't stock.
