The Handmade Christmas Markets
This Brisbane market staple gets seasonal so that you can support local artisans and give your loved ones festive gifts that've been made by hand.
Overview
The BrisStyle team is a rather busy bunch. A few times a year, it puts on twilight markets in King George Square, but that isn't its only regular event. If you're particularly after a treasure trove of handmade goodies — and who isn't? — it hosts another opportunity to browse and buy that's dedicated to exactly those kinds of objects over at the Queensland Museum. And, because it's that time of year, it's putting on a Christmas version of the latter.
Fashion, art, jewellery, homewares — if someone's been using their nimble fingers to make it, then you can probably trade your hard-earned cash for their hard work. In fact, there'll be a long list of artisans — normally around 60 locals, actually — selling their wares.
And, while you're shopping, you'll also be able to grab a bite at the onsite cafe — and live tunes from local musos usually provide a soundtrack.
The BrisStyle Handmade Christmas Markets take place on Saturday, December 21, so that's when you can take care of your gift-buying needs. Head along from 10am–3pm, with it all taking place in the Queensland Museum's whale mall.
