Is that the scent of cinnamon, brandy and end-of-year anxiety in the air? 'Tis the season for festive shopping, and the Entertainment Quarter is the place to head for a massive Yuletide market selling all kinds of festive goodies, snacks and coffee to get you through the day's shopping on Sunday, December 3. Browse a range of stalls spruiking homewares, fashion, toys, hats and jewelry, as well as festive fare like wrapping paper, baubles, decorations and gourmet Christmas nibbles, from 10am-4pm.
From arts and design treasure troves to European-inspired food markets, these Christmas shopping pop-ups have all the yuletide goods you need to make the silly season really special. If the thought of joining the hoards at a shopping mall in December gives you full body chills, save yourself the bother and add these quaint Chrissie markets to your hit list.
This year, you’ll find cost-of-living conscious options (such as sub $20 gift options at Le Jolly Market) alongside some real push-the-boat-out offerings.
Regardless of your holiday budget, it’s worth hitting at least one market for your annual dose of festive (if only for the fondue).
Merry shopping.
