Two sisters with a passion for fashion and secondhand treasures are bringing a new event to the Central West, with the launch of Seeker Markets in Canowindra.
Courtney and Morgan, originally from Bathurst, were inspired by their experiences at well-known city markets like Sydney’s Kirribilli and Glebe Markets and decided it was time to create something similar for regional NSW.
“We used to drive from Bathurst to Sydney for the Kirribilli Markets when we were younger,” Courtney said.
“Now that Morgan has relocated to Canowindra, we thought it would be awesome to have something like that here in the Central West.”
The Seeker Markets will be held at Perennial Plants Nursery and Emporium, a picturesque venue in Canowindra with a large hall often used for weddings and events. The event will feature coffee, food, and the opportunity for visitors to explore the town’s boutique shops.

“The venue is fantastic — it’s a beautiful space with a big hall at the back where they host weddings and events,” Courtney said.
“People can come, enjoy the markets, grab a coffee, and make a day of exploring Canowindra.”
The focus of the markets is on sustainability and individuality, with stallholders selling pre-loved clothing and accessories.
“You can often find the labels you love for a fraction of the price, and because every piece is one of a kind, you never see the same stock everywhere,” she said.
“We really wanted to bring that vibe to the country.”
The sisters have also seen plenty of interest from nearby towns, with plans to eventually expand the event to other parts of the Central West.
“We’re hoping Seeker Markets will travel around the region,” Courtney said.
“Young is definitely on our radar — the girls there were so excited when they heard about it.”
The Seeker Markets are about more than just fashion; they promote sustainability and give clothes a second life.
“It’s sustainable, stylish, and slightly addictive,” Courtney said with a laugh.
“Your wardrobe and the planet will thank you.”
Stallholders can apply online to be part of the event, with a non-refundable $80 fee that covers two racks of display space.
For Courtney and Morgan, the launch of Seeker Markets is the start of something they hope will grow into a regular fixture for local fashion lovers.
“We really love the energy of these kinds of markets,” Courtney said.
“It’s a chance for people to clear out their wardrobes, pick up something unique, and be part of a community event.”
The first Seeker Markets will be held at Perennial Plants Nursery and Emporium in Canowindra, with details and stallholder applications available at online at seekermarkets.com.au
