Carriageworks Twilight Christmas Market 2021

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 last-minute gifts ahead of the big day — because we know what you're like.

Taking over Carriageworks on the evening of Wednesday, December 22, the market will go full Christmas with a cornucopia of goodies from more than 80 of Australia's best producers, restaurants and designers. Think, homemade puddings, seafood, fresh cherries, award-wining cheeses and more.

Expect the best from the weekly Carriageworks Farmers Market and more, including Christmas hams, handcrafted spirits, bottled cocktails and floral bouquets made to complete your Christmas table.

Making the night's festivities even more enjoyable will be sustainable South Eveleigh bar Re, which will be serving up Christmas-themed cocktails using repurposed ingredients from Carriageworks' usual farmers market that may have otherwise gone to waste.

Last year's market was ticketed in a bid to keep the capacity COVID-safe, however with looser restrictions in place this year, it's returned to a free event format with no registration needed. That said, Carriageworks does have a in-depth COVID-19 safety plan in place for all events which you can read at its website.

The Carriageworks Twilight Christmas Market runs from 4–9pm.
