I have been a Marketeer at 'OVAM' since it became an independent organisation in 2025. I have found it exciting and interesting, and I love taking the time to talk and mix with other Marketeers and meeting new people as they come through the market. The market is kept to a very high standard and visitors have made lovely remarks and compliments about this.
As a marketeer, the Otane Village Artisan Market is a great place to connect with like-minded people, catch-up with individuals from the local community, meet new people/potential customers or just have a chat to those passing by. The Otane Hall itself provides an ideal location for me and my products all year round.
