Gemma Booker with bluebirddesigns, Kat Williams and Senegence Distributor, along with Ginger's Creations' Tian Harris, have started the Moree Virtual Markets event on Facebook to replace the monthly markets this weekend.
Ms Booker said it's very much a trial run this weekend, but they're hoping to add as many stalls as possible.
"At the moment we've got about eight minimum, and that's only who I've heard directly from," she said.

"There's a lot of people I spoke to a few weeks ago that said they would be interested.
"We're calling out to other people to see if they want to jump on and join, anyone who doesn't even attend the markets who might want to sell their hand made goods."
Stall holders will be able to share their products on the event page and customers will be able to go online and see what's available.
"It'll be a matter of everyone posting their products, prices, payment methods," Ms Booker said.
"We're going to leave the event open. It will start at 9am on Sunday morning, run it through to midnight on Monday night.
"It gives time to scroll through, ask questions."

"If it's a success, we'll keep doing it for the foreseeable future until we can get back to the normal markets," Ms Booker said."
