Carriageworks Christmas Farmers Market 2018
Stock up on homemade plum puddings, succulent hams and smelly cheeses on just before Christmas.
Overview
How'd you like to populate your Christmas feast with local, artisanal goods to make your relatives impressed and your in-laws floored? Carriageworks is bringing back its Christmas Market, where you can buy fresh seasonal produce just a couple of days before Christmas. Importantly, you can also buy gifts just days before the big day — because we know what you're like.
Taking over Carriageworks' regular Saturday morning meet on December 22, the market will go all Christmas with a cornucopia of the spoils of 115 of Australia's best producers, restaurants and designers — think homemade plum puddings, succulent hams, fresh cherries, smelly cheeses and more.
Expect the best from the weekly Carriageworks Farmers Market and more, including Christmas hams from Linga Longa Farm, cherries from Kurrawong Organics, gluten-free mince tarts from Kitchen Green, Andy Bowdy, from Enmore's Saga, famed desserts and much festive gin from Archie Rose. Plus, there'll be plenty more joining the party — more than 120 stallholders, to be exact — so expect to see Continental (and its much-loved tinned goods), Flour and Stone, Pasta Emilia, Smoking Gun Bagels and Pepe Saya there too.
Of course, you can grab a snack as well, with the Fish Butchery, Bar Pho, Single O and Bibim Bowl setting up stalls for the morning.
Look at that, Carriageworks just saved Christmas.
