In big news for all Sydney market lovers, the Big Design Market is coming back to Sydney for 2023, and we’re told it’s going to be better than ever.
This iconic, three-day market is basically a refined Easter Show for design heads and ethical gift lovers (there are no show ponies, but there are artisan showbags). There will be more than 200 stallholders, epic eats, immersive experiences and art all popping off in the one place. One thing we know for sure? We don’t want to miss this.
In 2023, Sydney’s Big Design Market will be going down at Carriageworks for the first time – the cavernous outdoor venue in Sydney’s inner city is set to come alive with a gigantic visual feast by artist Elaine Li, who will have handpainted a five-metre tall wooden girl, alongside a 100-metre large scale drawing, plus heaps of gigantic colourful paintings that will be suspended from the ceiling.
Kicking off on Friday, October 13 and running until Sunday, October 15, this year's market will be offering up (amongst many other wonders) handmade ceramics, homewares, clothes, jewellery and limited-edition art prints.
There's also going to be a mouth-watering array of locally made food and drink on offer, including the likes of Broomfield Pies (who use Pepe Saya butter in their pastry), dreamy Portuguese tarts by Natas and Co, Vietnamese soul food by Bar Pho, Melbourne's Billy Van Creamery natural ice-cream, and epic coffee from Melb's St Ali.
This event will be running from 11am to 8pm on Friday, October 13, 10am to 6pm on Saturday, October 14, and 10am to 5pm on Sunday, October 15. Admission will cost adults six bucks, while kids will get to come in free.
