The Rocks is hoping to serve up all your Christmas-time needs in its neighbourhood — from bespoke gifts and decorations to joyful meals and festive drinks.

The weekend Christmas Markets will run every Thursday through Sunday from December 5–22. The festive vies and street food will accompany the gift stallholders — from the latter, expect artisanal presents like handmade jewellery, wooden toys, locally made Christmas decorations and independent designer prints.

A pop-up Christmas bar will supply you with a much-needed festive beverage — think Champagne cocktails and French wines. It'll serve up plates of oysters, and you're welcome to bring in food from the market to eat over a drink.

The Rocks' usual shops will be done up in your standard red-and-green, silver-and-gold hues, too. And the local bars and pubs have you covered post-shopping, from craft brews at Endeavor Tap Rooms to cocktails on Mrs Jones terrace.

The Christmas Markets will be open from 10am–9pm each Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
