Northern Beaches Market

Overview

Love it or hate it, winter is on the way out. Whether you're celebrating the coming of spring or mourning the end of the cooler months, your last and best chance to do either is at the Northern Beaches Market, which marks the end of the season on Saturday, August 31.

Organised by Cambridge Markets, the masters of any event with artisanal goods and collapsible stalls, it's what the business does best: a gathering of makers, growers and artisanal wizards from all over a region of Sydney (north of the bridge in this case) for a day of browsing by locals.

With markets usually coming in at a bustling total of 100-150 stalls, you'll have from 10am to 3pm to visit James Meehan Reserve in Dee Why to browse to your heart's content. Bring deep pockets, a deeper bag and an empty stomach. You'll be strolling among homewares and fashion, hot food and cold drinks. It'll make for an exceedingly fun day out.

Northern Beaches Market runs from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, August 31. For more information, visit the website.
