Wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team. This was our first market. We are keen to come again. And this was down to the incredible organisation and promotion. You and your team run a well oiled machine and I’m super thankful for that and well done to you all. The communication was clear and concise. And it was easy to pack in and pack out, with great support on the day.

We loved being part of our first General Collective Lifestyle & Design Market! We were blown away at how smooth and well-run the market was and had such a great vibe, thanks to you and your teams hard work no doubt!

Fabulous day for me [at the General Collective Lifestyle & Design Market], and I managed to sell more work than I imagined, so I was super impressed with the whole management, layout, music and atmosphere of the day. I met a huge range of potential new customers, and received positive feedback on every piece of my art work.

I tried so many markets, but General Collective [Lifestyle & Design Market] just blew them all out of the water. It's just the coolest market to be at. Full of really high-end handmade and New Zealand designed items. It's so well put together and the flow of the stalls is so carefully thought out for vendors and visitors alike, so that everyone has an awesome experience too...

I just wanted to drop a huge thank you for the most amazing experience at the Botanical Market. Both of you [Sarah + Rose] do such an amazing job organising everything, and also looking after everyone!
