Handmade Canberra - beloved of crafty types all over the region - is holding a virtual market day this Sunday, April 26, ahead of Mother's Day on Sunday, May 10.

The market will run on their website from 9am to 9pm, and will be filled with special offers.

There's stuff for art lovers, crafters and foodies, as well as special pampering products for mum to enjoy during what has been a pretty crazy time.

"Our designers are putting together some fantastic offers to help you spoil Mum or the special person in your life you'd like to honour this Mother's Day," said Handmade founder Julie Nichols.

"While you won't be able to see the stallholders' special virtual market offers until the market goes live on Sunday, you can head over to our virtual market directory to "browse the aisles" of the virtual market and see who's making things you love (and prepare your shopping list for Sunday!)."

Shoppers could even hold their own mini 'virtual market parties' at home, or schedule virtual 'shopping trips' together on their social media.

Handmade had come up with the virtual market strategy in response to COVID-19 shutdowns, and had run the first one last month, with much success.

"We also received so many heartfelt messages of thanks from our designers," said Julie.

"The overwhelming sentiment was that they appreciated the opportunity to make sales and felt supported by our customers."
