Time to go antique shopping at the Guelph Farmer's Market.
Officials with the market will launch its first Sunday Special Antique Market this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., an effort to create new uses for the building on Gordon Street.
"There's nothing like that going on in town right now," Leanne McGray, the lead at the Guelph Farmers Market, told GuelphToday.
"There's certainly a lot of people in Guelph who like the reusable economy, that circular economy of buying items that are gently used instead of buying new items. There (are) a lot of thrifters in Guelph, so we thought that would be a good place to start."
It's all part of a goal by 10 Carden to use the building as more of a community space with different types of events.
About 20 vendors will be on site, but there is still a bit of space for more.
She said they have room for between 30 and 35 vendors.
"We do have an outdoor component, if people are willing to be outside," she said. "That's a possibility as well. We got a large outdoor lot we can use as well. And I do still have a couple of spaces inside.
"If it's something we really need, we're certainly willing to accommodate as much as we can in this fairly big space."
The plan is to have the Sunday event as a one-off for the time being, and hold other special markets on Sundays in 2023.
