Village Green Art Market 26/27 Season

Applications to become a stall holder at the Village Green Art Market for the 2026/27 cruise ship season open!

The Village Green Art Market has become a much-loved feature of cruise ship days in Paihia, bringing colour, creativity and a wonderful atmosphere to the heart of our town. Set against the stunning backdrop of the waterfront, the market showcases talented local artists, makers and craftspeople, while providing visitors with the opportunity to purchase authentic, locally-made products and meet the people behind them.

To maintain the quality and uniqueness of the market, all applicants and products must meet our market guidelines, which ensure stalls offer locally produced art, crafts and products that complement the character and reputation of the Village Green Art Market.

If you're a local artist, maker, creator or producer who would like to be part of the 2026/27 season, we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're an established stall holder or considering your very first market season, now is the perfect time to get involved. 

Application forms and market guidelines are available on the Focus Paihia website, and we encourage interested locals to apply early as places are limited and demand is always high. Thanks to Sam from Jiwa Steel who skilfully manages the Art Market and Judy from Hokianga Hats who helps process the applications and check that they meet the market's strict guidelines.

We can't wait to see what creativity the new season will bring to the Village Green - here's to an awesome 2026-2027 season!
