Paddington Christmas Night Markets
Possibly the best, most breezy way to do your last-minute Christmas shopping.
Overview
Nothing says Christmas like some great night markets, and nothing says Sydney markets quite like Paddington. The folks that have been running the iconic Saturday markets since 1973 (yep, that long) are once again treating locals to a twilight Christmas edition complete with Christmas pudding and other yummy Yule-inspired treats.
For one night only, stalls packed with hand-picked pieces by talented local designers such as Samantha Robinson and Kor Creations and artists like Live Art Studios and Beau Wylie Illustrations will fill the grounds around the historic Uniting Church on Oxford Street. The Church will also be operating its own stall — with all its proceeds going to good causes, so you can spend your money and feel good about it at the same time.
Also, who else is excited about doing their last-minute Christmas shopping outside listening to great tunes? Surely that humid summer breeze beating against your defeated face is better than some crazed shopper's elbow as they race you to the cash register at Myer. 'Tis the season after all.
