The Witches Market returns to the Fraser Coast for 2025, but we have made many changesFirstly, this market is on a Sunday not Saturday as we have done in the past
Secondly, we have moved venues to Dayman Park in Urangan, for those that have not been there it is a wonderful venue, right next to the Ocean, with heaps of playground equipment for the children, what not to like
Also, as a new thing we will be having workshops at the market, so please make sure you keep looking at our event page for workshops that are on offer.
This is also our Yule Event for the year, what is Yule you may ask
Here is some info, but please go and research for yourself
Yule (also called Jul, jól or joulu) is a winter festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples that was incorporated into Christmas during the Christianisation of the Germanic peoples.
In present times adherents of some new religious movements (such as Modern Germanic paganism) celebrate Yule independently of the Christian festival. Scholars have connected the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the heathen Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht ("Mothers' Night").
The term Yule and cognates are still used in English and the Scandinavian languages as well as in Finnish and Estonian to describe Christmas and other festivals occurring during the winter holiday season. Furthermore, some present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others may have connections to older pagan Yule traditions.
