With 70 stalls and 2000 people passing through, market coordinator Belinda Fowler said it was a massive success.

"Plenty of people came through, it was amazing," she said.

"The weather forecast was spot on so it was wonderful to be able to hold the event inside the centre.

"The centre was filled with store-holders and two trucks out the back.

"One room was converted into a childrens room with an obstacle course, jumping castle and plenty of other activities."

In the Nulla gallery a travelling art exhibition from Macleay Vocational College was available for viewing, free of charge.

Along with endless stalls, Mrs Fowler said there were plenty of opportunities for a dance.

"We had the Macleay Valley Pipes and Drummers playing Christmas carols along with some live music from Bad Sneakers," she said.

"Everybody loved it, the atmosphere was great."

With the event usually held at Riverside Park, Mrs Fowler said the indoors facility created potential for further plans.

"It was a fantastic wet weather alternative, we can now potentially start conversations with council about boutique markets into the future," she explained.
