Turn your Christmas shopping into a festive dream.

Overview

Get your shopping done under twinkling lights while surrounded by real (not plastic) Christmas trees. No, this isn't a festive dream — it's the reality of South Bank's annual Christmas markets. Whether you've been every year since you can remember, or you've never gone a-browsing at the inner-city spot, visiting The Collective Markets Christmas Edition is worth the trip.

While the entirety of South Bank will be in the festive mood (think lights, carols and even fireworks on selected days), they can't steal the show from the most important part of the proceedings: the wares on offer at the rows of stalls. From 10am daily between Friday, December 13 and Monday, December 23, you'll find handmade toys, jewellery and other trinkets just begging to be given as gifts, as well as tasty treats to add to your Christmas feast.

Yep, everyone's a winner here — with the Little Stanley Street markets open until 9pm until Thursday, December 19, then trading till 10pm between Friday, December 20–Monday, December 23.
