Umina & Woy Woy Markets

Umbala Events is a small locally owned business based on the Central Coast.

Umbala started in early 2015 by importing Fairtrade products from my hometown in South Africa. Our products were vibrant and colourful, which inspired our name Umbala, which means colour in the Zulu language.

We started off as stallholder and soon realised the lack of markets on the Central Coast. This inspired us to create a new market in the suburb we lived in, Umina!

In December 2015 we hosted the very first Umina Beach Markets and the event was a success. We could tell that the community was eager to have a local event on a regular basis. Month by month the event grew and in 2018 we decided to create a sister market. Woy Woy Waterfront Markets (PKA Handmade on the Coast).

Umbala Events is every evolving and always looking for new inspiration....

Kind Regards
