Father

Overview

Back in May, when Mother's Day rolled around, Wandering Cooks held a pre-occasion day of food, beverages and shopping for two reasons. Whether you were looking for something for your mum, or something to do with your mum, they had you covered — and they're doing it all over again now that it's dad's time in the spotlight.

From midday on September 2, expect ceramics, hand-made tools, leather goods, small batch wares and handcrafted furniture to fill the corner of Fish Lane and Cordelia Street, plus plenty to eat and drink. Bring your father to Father for some quality bonding time, or pick him up a few pressies somewhere much more fun than your local shopping centre.

In fact, you won't just be browsing and buying in a better location — you're likely to find a whole different kind of gift here as well. That's how you make your dad feel special: by giving him something other than a box of chocolates, a book or some socks. He'll thank you for it.
