The Market Tales

Overview

There are markets, and then there are markets. And The Market Tales, a brand new two-day event at Precinct 75 in St Peters, is taking the word market to a whole new galaxy of potential. Hitting the precinct — which houses various food outlets, design showrooms and even its own micro-brewery — on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21, the new market is set to bring you a cornucopia of deliciousness and design for your mouth, eyes and ears.

The food offering is particularly impressive. Taking care of the food will be some of the inner west's finest eateries: Continental Deli, Cornersmith, Black Star Pastry, and Cairo Takeaway. Meanwhile, in an alleyway dedicated to alcohol, you'll find new Darlinghurst bar Johnny Fishbone, Young Henry's, Archie Rose and Precinct 75's own Urban Winery.

In between sipping and sampling, check out an array of creations from over 60 makers and merchants, including Atolyia, the Design Twins and Society Inc. Expect homewares, furniture, fashion, jewellery, art and more.

All these pleasures will be soundtracked with live music, provided by acoustic acts. And, if you want to get in on the action, you can take part in a workshop or two, from candle making to bread baking. The market will run from 10.30am till 4.30pm each day, it's cash-only and entry is $2.
