Our much-loved outdoor food area is back, and we're calling it the Picnic Ground.
Surrounded by eucalypts, this area will bring a curated lineup of food trucks to fuel your market day. Whether you’re craving something savoury, sweet, or in-between, we’ve got a dish (or two) with your name on it. Find a sunny spot, share a meal, and maybe even start with dessert – we won’t judge.
Your market aisles won’t just be filled with handmade treasures, they’ll be soundtracked by a killer lineup of live local musicians and DJs! We love supporting local music and can't wait to see you grooving with us. Stay tuned for the music lineup closer to the event.
Low sensory hour is on Sunday from 9am to 10am. During this time, we’ll reduce lights, lower or turn off music, and limit capacity for a calmer shopping experience. Those already inside can continue shopping after 10am when we open to the public. Get tickets online when they go on sale (included in Early Bird).
More coming soon!
