💘 LOVE IS IN THE AIR… 💜 Southside Collective Market | Valentine’s Edition

Ipswich, it’s time to flirt with your local market 😏

New year. New look. New centre. Same iconic Southside Collective Market chaos — just with extra romance.
On Sunday 8th February 2026, we’re kicking off the year at Ipswich Showgrounds with a Valentine’s Edition that’s all about love, laughs, local legends, and a whole lot of feel-good vibes.

This isn’t your awkward roses-and-card aisle moment. This is Southside style romance — smooth tunes, cheeky giveaways, swoon-worthy stalls, and an atmosphere so good you’ll accidentally fall in love with a candle, a cookie, or a crocheted mushroom. It happens. We don’t judge. ❤️

💜 LET LOVE (AND SHOPPING) LEAD THE WAY

Whether you’re:

• 💑 Coupled up and smug about it

• 💃 Single and thriving

• 👯 Rolling in with your bestie

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Out with the fam

This market is your love language.

Wander hand-in-hand (or solo with snacks), support local small businesses, find unique Valentine’s gifts, and soak up smooth vibes designed to set the mood — Southside Collective Market style.

Expect:
✨ Thoughtful handmade goodies
✨ Preloved treasures with a story
✨ Sweet treats that say “I love you” without using words
✨ Cheeky giveaways because we’re generous like that
✨ A community atmosphere that feels like a warm hug (minus the awkward lingering)

💝 WHY YOU GOTTA GO

Because love isn’t just about romance — it’s about community, connection, and supporting your locals.
Because this is a new-look venue, a fresh start for 2026, and the perfect excuse to get out, vibe up, and shop small.

So mark the date, bring your favourite people (or come find new ones), and let’s make Valentine’s at Ipswich Showgrounds a little louder, funnier, and way more memorable than a box of supermarket chocolates.
