If you’re looking for an alfresco location for a spot of shopping on a glittering Sydney Saturday, then we suggest you mark your calendars for the Barangaroo Artisan Market – popping up by the water on Saturday, May 11.
Kicking off at 10am, this open-air market is set to be bigger than ever – playing host to over 60 stalls peddling a variety of edible treats and sustainable, locally-sourced wares. And because it's taking place on the last shopping day before Mothering Sunday, there will be a special emphasis on gifts that are perfect for your dear ol' ma. Expect to pick up treasures like delectable small-batch Chinese chilli oil from Mama Liu’s, cheese wheels from Vanella, a sweet selection of clothing made from recycled materials, handmade jewellery and homewares, and natural perfumes made from Aussie natives. There really is something for everyone – plus roving performers, live music and easy access to Barangarro's excellent eateries to keep you sustained.
With everything shutting up shop at 3pm, this market is a very cute way to start off the Mother’s Day weekend – or really any weekend for that matter. You're likely to snag a pretty good last-minute present, and entry is totally free.
Bring your dog, your siblings, or come alone and score big by getting mum the best gift of Mother’s Day 2024. You can plan your visit over here.
