The market normally runs in the gardens adjacent to Willaura Hospital and attracts up to 70 stores each year.

"We apologise to all who attend our market each year, but the safety of our community as well as stallholders and local volunteers is paramount," she said.
"We know how much everyone looks forward to the market each year and how important it is for fundraising for Willaura Healthcare as well as being a social event for the region, so we are already planning for next year's market, which will return with all your favourite stalls and activities."
The 2022 Willaura Healthcare Outdoor Market has already been scheduled for Sunday, March 6.
