Baby market returns to the Oasis Academy
Mums and dads, Grans and Grandads will be flocking to Oasis Academy on the 25th March, 1-3pm to get their hands on a whole host of baby and children’s bargains at a fraction of their retail cost. The award-winning mum2mum Market nearly new sale is returning to Oasis Academy after a successful sale last month.
Nearly new sales are a great place to pick up top-branded items at a fraction of their retail price. With large items like designer prams selling for around a third of the new price and baby and children’s clothes from just 50p parents can save thousands of pounds on kitting out their kids. All the stalls are manned by local mums, dads, aunties and uncles who recycle their children’s outgrown clothes, toys, books and equipment to other families and they keep 100% off the profits.
Owner of the Oldham Franchise, Kelly Dronsfield, “We had lots of buyers at the February sale and I was really happy with the turnout considering it is a new 
venue. We had fantastic feedback from both sellers and buyers. It’s great that the Oldham sales are of benefit to the families of Hollinwood, Limeside, Failsworth and Hathershaw, with this venue being in such close proximity.”
She added, “Having a baby is an exciting but expensive time with some families having to take out finance just to afford the essentials like prams and cots. Our sales take away some of that strain by allowing buyers to purchase top-branded items at a fraction of the price.”
The sales also provide a great opportunity for local businesses to promote their classes, products and services to local families with options such as advertising the goodybags, booking a business stall or sponsoring a sale. The March sale will see repeat stallholder and photographer, Jude Gidney, promote her gorgeous children’s and family photography. There will be a great selection of Traditional and Spanish-inspired childrenswear by Children’s Boutique 2017 as well as handmade dresses, modern outfits and handmade teethers.
Much-needed refreshments will be provided by Mrs Barber’s Bakery and baby-wearing experts, Nature Vs Nurture Sling Library will be offering advice and selling some of their slings off at a reduced price.
Mum2mum Market sales are also attended by staff from The Children’s Society staff from the shop in Shaw. The ladies ask stall holders to kindly donate anything that isn’t sold to the Charity for it to be sold in the shop. The charity has been amazed with people’s generosity thus far and are very much looking forward to the February sale.
The next sale will be taking place on Sunday 25th March at Oasis Academy Oldham in Hollinwood at 1-3pm.
