After the success of last year's market at Kurnell, Sydney's Cambridge Markets are returning to the Shire for the holiday season. The Cronulla Christmas Markets will take over the reserve next to Wanda Beach on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8.

The gift bazaar will feature 150 stalls offering everything from clothing, linen, homewares and pet goods to Christmas trees, puddings, wreaths and gingerbread houses. As well as Christmas good, an array of hot food stalls — ranging from vegan snacks to Vietnamese food — will help you fuel up for the shopping frenzy.

In more great news, there will be a spritz bar, as well as lots of local beers and chilled wines. Live music is on the docket too, along with rides, henna and face painting booths for little ones.

The market will run from 10am till 4pm on both days at Don Lucas Reserve, which is about a half-hour walk from Cronulla Station. It's likely to be hot, so make sure you pack your bathers for a post-shop swim.
