ABOUT THE MARKET
Hello Shoppers - We can't wait to see you!
We have a few important reminders.
Early Bird shoppers enjoy a VIP reduced capacity shopping experience, a free custom Third+Bird tote bag PLUS a free spider or strawberry plant from van der Meer Garden Centre. There is a set amount of each kind of plant and we cannot guarantee your top choice. Size of plants differ from photos shown on promo materials. As an Early Bird shopper you get first dibs on all the maker's products, plus UNLIMITED ADMISSION all weekend long, granted by a wrist band! This highly sought after shopping experience always sells out in record time. If you want to guarantee your Early Bird tickets for the 2026 Spring Market we suggest you buy your tickets quickly before check-in times sell out!
Purchasing a PRESALE ticket (February 27th - March 1st) grants you a free gift from our ticket sponsor, Utoffeea! You will receive a FREE sample bag of delicious Utoffeea in either Original Cashew or Peanut Butter. Your item must be redeemed at the market. There is a set amount of each flavour and we cannot guarantee your preferred choice will be available.
If you do not receive a copy of your ticket immediately after purchasing please check your junk mail and/or search 'wixevents'. If you don’t have it email us immediately at hello@thirdandbird.com so we can resend it to you! When this happens it’s often because your email was incorrectly typed in when purchasing tickets. Please do not wait for the day of the market as our response times to emails can be up to 24 hours.
You are welcomed to take the time you need to complete your shopping.
Strollers are not permitted, please plan accordingly. For more information please read our stroller policy on our FAQ page. * Exceptions can be made upon review. Please email us before the market to discuss.
Kids (12 and under) attending Early Bird WILL require a paid ticket. There are NO free kid tickets for this shopping experience, as this is a reduced capacity premium shopping experience. If your toddler or baby will be carried on your person then they do NOT require a paid ticket. If you want your kids to shop for free please consider using your wrist band to come back Sat or Sun to our General Admission shopping experiences where kids tickets are free.
There are no returns/refunds/exchanges on tickets. If you can no longer attend please consider gifting or selling your ticket to a friend or loved one. Exception: If the market is cancelled, refunds will be issued.
Thank you for your love and support.
