The Makers and Shakers Market

Overview

If you've been saving your money the last couple months and are wondering where to spend it, head down to the Makers and Shakers Market on Saturday, October 12. Making its return to Sydney, it'll feature 60 high-quality stalls, so you'll definitely find something you like. The market provides an open platform for local makers to sell their handmade wares, gourmet foods and lifestyle products.

Stallholders change with each market, but you can expect to start your shopping with a coffee or kombucha, then look for stunning ceramics. Next, perhaps scope out some chunky, colourful jewellery — before finishing up by adding a little plant life to your home. That's just a taste of the kind of goodies on offer. While you're wandering the stalls, you can tackle your post-shop hunger as well.

The market will run from 9am–3pm, and tickets are $2 and kids under 12 are free.
