Favourite Things Vintage and Handmade Markets

Bondi

Hangovers just got a whole lot better. A cute little vintage and local designer market pops up on Saturdays at the Beach Road Hotel. Sink some brews as you peruse the stalls and pick up the likes of Petes Glasses recycled glassware, Type Hype tees, Hello Sailor stationary, Earth Kid fair trade toys and baked goods by the Wooden Spoon.

Bondi Markets

Bondi

Having boasted stalls from the likes of Ksubi, Pete vs Toby and Lover before they hit the big time, Bondi Markets is our pick for cheap and ahead-of-the-game fashion.

Paddington Markets

Paddington

With over 250 stalls setting up each week, these markets give a leg up to plenty of local up-and-coming designers. And it's a great warm-up for shopping in Paddington.

Pyrmont Growers Markets

Pyrmont

This is the market for keen followers of the slow food movement. Each stall is marked with signs detailing exactly how far the produce has travelled.

Sydney Flower Markets

Homebush West

Opening everyday bar one, the Sydney Flower Market will cater to all your botanical needs. Trading usually packs up by 10am, so be sure to set your alarm.

Eveleigh Farmers Markets

Eveleigh

Over 70 stalls bring the freshest seasonal produce, gourmet fare, flowers, wine and more direct to the Inner West every weekend. Go early and have Kylie Kwong-cooked pancakes for brekky.

Rozelle Markets

Rozelle

Bric-a-brac, records, books, clothes and serious bargains abound at this market every Saturday and Sunday. Get rifling and you're sure to score a serious gem.

Glebe Markets

Glebe

One of Sydney's favourite outdoor markets has locals browsing second-hand clothing, accessories, books, recordings, arts, crafts and furniture to the sounds of live music every Saturday.

Sydney Fish Market

Pyrmont

This working fishing port – with many types of fishing vessels in Blackwattle Bay, wholesale and retail fish markets, shops, a variety of indoor and outdoor eateries, and picnic tables on an outdoor deck – is well worth the journey to Pyrmont.

Kirribilli Markets

Milsons Point

This monthly market is all about fashion, art and design. There is always ample vintage wears and Aussie designers often sell off samples. Get there early and don't miss the Mink Pink $5 stall.

Flemington Swap and Sell

Homebush West

This is the pick of the pack for a serious fashion bargain. If you hit the market at 2am when stallholders are setting up, you'll have access to the cream of the pre-loved crop.

Surry Hills Markets

Surry Hills

Surry Hills is the ticket for second-hand records and threads or a dog-eared copy of The Catcher in the Rye. And it's in the perfect 'hood for a killer brunch before the browsing begins.

EQ Village Markets

Moore Park

Fine fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses and gourmet foods from rural NSW abound here, both hydroponically and organically grown, to inspire your cooking to new heights. There's plenty to keep the kids entertained while you scour the breads, flowers and sweets too.
