Bargain hunters and young families will be heading to the Ōrewa Community Centre this weekend for one of the Hibiscus Coast’s most popular community events — the Pre-Loved Kids Market, happening this Saturday, 11 October, from 9 am to 12 pm.

The market brings together more than 45 stalls selling quality second-hand children’s clothing, toys, books, prams, baby gear, nursery furniture, and more.

Entry is free, and the event provides a great opportunity for families to refresh their wardrobes and toy boxes without breaking the bank.

Organised under the Good As New Pre-Loved Markets banner, the Ōrewa event has grown into a well-loved fixture on the local calendar, attracting buyers and sellers from across the Coast. The markets are known for their friendly atmosphere and their focus on reuse and sustainability — helping to keep good-quality items out of landfill while supporting local whānau.

While the Good As New markets began more than a decade ago as small community gatherings, they’ve since expanded to include a range of preloved events across Auckland, including the popular Ōrewa Pre-Loved Kids Market and seasonal fashion markets. Each event typically runs several times a year, with many families returning regularly to sell or shop for gently used treasures as their tamariki grow.

Whether you’re expecting a new baby, shopping for toddlers, or clearing out cupboards, the Ōrewa Pre-Loved Kids Market offers something for everyone — and the chance to give once-loved items a new home.
