A visit to the Marketplace: the basket shop and the bakery

As our guests stroll through the Marketplace with their tribes, they get to visit the different tradespeople there. During each night of VBS, the children will visit a couple of shops, getting glimpses into life during Bibletimes.

Visitors to our basket shop get to try their hands at basketweaving.

Weaving baskets takes creativity and a lot of concentration!


A couple of our Marketplace shops have the most wonderful aromas. The bakery is one that smells amazing!

In this shop visitors learn about grain and how it must be milled into flour before bread can be baked.
Before the night is over, everyone gets to sample the amazing bread.


Those are just two of the Marketplace shops are children will visit. Good thing we still have four more nights of VBS to explore the rest of the Marketplace!
