MARKET

We’re excited to announce the launch of T.R.O.U Swap Meet Market; a curated community marketplace kicking off at Metro West in Footscray!

We’re on the lookout for passionate, creative vendors to help us bring the energy.

Are you an artist with handmade anything’s? A vintage head with rare or cool pieces? A foodie serving plant-based flavours that hit? Or a human with a green thumb?

If what you do makes people stop, stare, and ask, “Where’d you get that?”; this is your moment.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • Handmade products – jewellery, art, zines, accessories, and more

  • Cut & sew fashion, vintage clothes & products

  • Plants, candles & home goods

  • food, non-alc drinks & treats that hit

  • Custom furniture, skincare, & natural apothecary blends

  • Collectibles, oddities & rare finds

  • Tarot, readings & any magic you bring to the table

 FAQs

  • You can aspect to hear back from us  within a few days. If you’re submission is approved, you confirm your spot by completing payment.

  • Spots are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Full stall payments must be made within 7 days of confirmation to secure your stall site.

  • Yep! You’re in charge of your own stall—tables, displays, and anything else you need to make your setup pop. Each venue has its own vibe, so check the event details for any special requirements. And when it’s all said and done, pack up everything you came with—leave no trace, just good energy.

  • We keep things curated, so every business needs to apply individually and book their own stall—even if you’re planning to share a space. This ensures everyone gets the spotlight they deserve!

  • Standard indoor stalls are 2m x 2m. Need extra space? 3m x 3m stalls can be booked upon request for an additional fee.

  • We’re open to a wide range of products, but we’re especially on the lookout for handmade creations, rare vintage finds, and collectibles. All applicants will be considered based on the quality and originality of their work, how it fits with the overall vibe of the market, and the diversity of the products being offered.

    Vendors are chosen by a panel made up of staff, practicing artists, and other arts professionals. You’ll be notified by email if your stall application is approved.

  • Stalls are non-refundable once booked.

    Cancellations made within 7 days of the event, or on the day of the market, will not be refunded. However, if extreme conditions cause us to cancel or pack up the market early, we will offer either a full refund or a stall credit.

  • Check your confirmation form for your assigned date(s). Cancellations and no-shows impact the whole market, so please be courteous and let us know at least 7 days in advance if something comes up.

    We operate on a ‘3 strikes’ policy: miss your slot or cancel late, and you get one strike. After 3 strikes, you’ll lose your remaining spots for the season and will need to reapply.

    If extreme conditions force us to close early or cancel, you’ll get a full refund or stall credit. Be sure to check our full cancellation terms and conditions!
