Organisers say 71 stallholders attended, coming from as far afield as Narromine, Dubbo and Mudgee, as well as from Oberon, Blayney, Orange, Portland, Lithgow and Bathurst, and providing arts, crafts and goods for sale.

"Gary and Cassie had a great day with their coffee and ice-cream van, which has become a popular regular to the event, and first-timers Milne's of Mudgee enjoyed their day selling preserves and vinegars," Lions Club of Bathurst Macquarie publicity officer Jon Maclean said.

"Several stallholders commented that this is one of the best organised markets around and that they enjoy coming here.

"Adding to the atmosphere was the live music presented by Pete and Pete, who covered several styles throughout the day."

The next markets will be held on Saturday, April 3, coinciding with the Easter weekend.
