Surry Hills Market
Head to one of Sydney’s best-loved markets for their bohemian collection of fashion, antiques, books and handicrafts.
Overview
Surry Hills is more casual than most markets, yet at the same time, it's the market you're most likely to run into a street fashion photographer or budding fashion designer. It really is a particularly well-dressed crowd. Surry Hills is also where you'll dig up some of the greatest things.
Held on the first Saturday of every month at Shannon Reserve on Crown Street, it's a mix of emerging designers, specially sourced vintage and people hocking their old junk. The stall-holders really put in the effort here. Someone will offer you the history of your $10 skirt as you're rifling around for cash, while others will be happy to knock up a customised pair of earrings for you on the spot, and one nice man once helped my friend carry a pile of old 60s suitcases to the car. Along with great people watching and finding hidden treasures, these markets offer up some prime dog spotting, too.
