The Rocks Markets: Christmas Edition

Overview

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from December 5–21, you can shop a curated selection of unique, handcrafted gifts from local artisans — including hand-blown glass and sterling silver jewellery by OR Design, nostalgic homewares by RetroKitchen and hand-printed apparel by b.carlon — at The Rocks' popular Christmas market. Featuring a wide range of handcrafted wares by local makers, this lively openair market will have all you need to tick off your holiday gift list.

Between finding the perfect pressies, you can stay fuelled with woodfired pizza from Haberfield fave That's Amore, as well as paella, crepes and gozleme — whatever you choose, it's best enjoyed on the free picnic blankets and cushions under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 14, you can also take part in a gift-wrapping workshop to learn the Japanese technique of furoshiki, a traditional wrapping method that uses pre-loved fabrics to create reusable, zero-waste parcels.
