The Finders Keepers Spring/Summer Markets

Overview

Biannual art and design market The Finders Keepers is returning for its final summer iteration, bringing shoppers the latest and greatest from its stellar lineup of Australia's most creative makers.

The Eora edition is taking over The Cutaway — the staggering sandstone-walled space in Barangaroo — from Friday, December 9 to Sunday, December 11. Joining the creatively charged stalls is a tasty range of food and beverage offerings — all the makings of a prime day to get out, have a chat with artists and support the local creative industry.

At the core of the conscious shopping space is a focus on helping you discover and connect with the next wave of independent and emerging artisans. So, you can expect to find everything from jewellery, fashion and ceramics to leather goods and body products. And, for the market's final run of the year in Sydney, there's a blend of new makers and returning faves.

Cult-classic jewellery and homeware creators Doodad + Fandango will be onsite for those seeking A-list aesthetics, Bea Bellingham is back with playful ceramic creations, as are returning crowd faves Emi Ceramics, Trade The Mark and Voluptuary Ceramics — or, and you can contribute to a ceramics installation at Clay Sydney's interactive space. Plus, you'll be able to shop sustainable swimwear from Myriam Swim, lovely linens at Fauve and ethical activewear from Amble Outdoors.

Once your bag is full and your tummy is empty, make a beeline for the banging Brooklyn Boy Bagels, or grab some moreish 'Wafels' and ice cream sandwiches from StroopBros, and maybe a doughy baked delight from Nutie Donuts. Wash that down with the returning bar-meets-bottle-o SIP'ER or beers and kombuchas from Yulli's Brews.

As well as nabbing a ticket to enter — which is just $5 for daily general admission — be sure to remember that the market is completely cashless. So check (then check again) that you've got your digital (or plastic) payment methods at the ready — it would be a travesty to leave empty-handed.

The Finders Keepers Spring/Summer Markets take place on Friday, December 9 (4–9pm), Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11 (10am–5pm) at The Cutaway, Barangaroo. For more info and to check out the full vendor lineup, head to the website.
