Design afficianados, this one's for you. The Finders Keepers Design Market is returning to Sydney this weekend, and the line-up looks delightful. From Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5, Carriageworks will house one of Australia’s most consciously-curated markets, with Sydney playing host to more than 150 small creative businesses from NSW and across the country. This three-day market is all about celebrating creative, design-focused local business – punters will be able to pick up hand-made ceramics, slow fashion, jewellery, homewares, original art and so much more. It’s the perfect place to choose mum something extra special for Mother’s Day. If you're not so much of a shopper, you can take a break from browsing with a croissant from Sydney institution Sonoma Bakery, get merry with a local craft beer from Yulli's Brews, or take a few minutes out to add to the mindful mural collaborative artwork.The Finders Keepers Design Market will be open from 4pm to 9pm on Friday, and from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. Entry costs $10, and can be bought at the door cashless, or booked in ahead of time by clicking right here. Kids under 13 can come in for free.
