Time Out says

Built on a graveyard and completed in 1889, Sydney Town Hall is an impressive High Victorian building, topped by a clocktower with a two-ton bell. It has retained its original function and interiors, including the council chamber and lord mayor’s offices.

The stunning vestibule, its colourful domed ceiling hung with a huge crystal chandelier, has some of the earliest examples of Australian-made stained glass.

Behind this, Centennial Hall is dominated by a magnificent 8,000-pipe organ: with a capacity of 2,048, it was once the largest concert hall in the world, and it is still used for organ recitals and other musical events.

Sydney Made Art & Design Markets

If the late-December dash to buy Christmas presents isn't your bag, you might be keen to start your gift finding mission in November – and you can do exactly that at the ‘Sydney Made Art & Design Markets’, which are back in a big way for the 2024 season. As a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting Sydney’s creative scene, this market is all about peddling art and design treasures hand-made by Sydneysiders in the beautiful Town Hall.   This one-day-only mega market will run from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, November 23, and will be showcasing the curated wares of more than 76 makers and designers from all across Sydney. Shoppers will be able to peruse photography, slow fashion, natural skincare, ceramics, jewellery, bespoke stationery and art pieces, among many other curious treasures. The historic space will also be filled with live music acts throughout the day, and entry is by donation, which will go towards supporting an entirely volunteer-run community event.  You can stay up to date with all the happenings with the Sydney Made Art & Design Markets on their Facebook page and via their website.Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Sydney newsletter for more news, straight to your inbox.
