Time Out says

Sydney’s Entertainment Quarter has pretty much everything you could possibly want to satisfy your entertainment needs.

You can shop at the Village Markets, grab something to eat from an array of restaurants, see a movie, catch some live comedy or if you just want to have a drink and hang out with your friends, then EQ is the place to do it.

Fox Studios Australia opened in May 1998. Since then, Sydneysiders have become used to having US movie stars in their city; some, such as Keanu Reeves and Kate Bosworth, have become regular visitors. Regrettably, Australia’s first (and only) Hollywood-style film studios are not open to the public any more, even for tours. What the public gets instead is the super-slick Entertainment Quarter complex, with cinemas, shops, a barrage of eateries and some huge entertainment spaces. There’s a weekend crafts market and a farmers’ market on Wednesdays and Saturdays (both open 10am-4pm). Kids will have a ball at the two state-of-the-art playgrounds, seasonal ice-rink, ten-pin bowling centre, crazy golf course and the popular Bungy Trampoline. The Hi Fi music venue is also found here.

That Good Good Market

  • Food and drink

A vibrant and fun plant-based market featuring tasty food stalls, live music, sustainable fashion and art is landing in Sydney this weekend for the very first time. Originating in San Diego, That Good Good Market was created by Sydney-born Paula Vallero and husband, US Olympian Malacchi Esdale. The duo wanted to take their flourishing market to Sydney, bringing together a like-minded community who share a passion for good food, good vibes and good times – while saving the planet one bite at a time. Not vegan? No worries. That Good Good Market is for vegans and non-vegans who are keen for new experiences and learn more about a plant-based lifestyle. And take it from us – the food line-up looks seriously good. Think fresh tacos; delicious souvlaki; loaded nachos; pillowy bao buns; and heavenly brownies, cookies and cakes that could tame any carnivore. “We know there is an outdated stigma around the word 'vegan' so we choose to steer clear of it,” says Vallero. “We want to create a fun event with food, music and shopping that you can enjoy with your friends and family, and the food just so happens to be vegan.” Esdale adds: “It is a gathering place for animal admirers and anyone who relishes the company of friends and loved ones, seeking to create unforgettable moments and forge new connections.” Keen? The very first That Good Good Market is kicking off this Sunday, July 9, from 9am-4pm, at the Entertainment Quarter. It will be running on every second Sunday of the month. Bring

Sydney Vegan Market

  • Markets

Sydney Vegan Market brings together tons of stalls selling 100 per cent plant-based savoury bites, sweet treats, beverages, home and beauty products, educational and charity stalls and more.  A day at Sydney Vegan Market is about more than shopping and eating – but there is a certain magic conjured in the air when a crowd of people with dietary restrictions realise they can eat abolsutely everything around them. Start the morning mindfully and set your intention with a free yoga session, and catch sets from local music talents on the solar-powered mainstage as you peruse the stalls with a coffee or chai in hand and engage with education and activism. Pack your picnic blanket, there is heaps of green space to spread out on to assess your purchases and tuck in to your snacks. Of course, one of the biggest draws is the dogs of Sydney Vegan Market. The pup game is so strong that it has warranted its own Instagram account.  The market is committed to protecting planet Earth and is a single-use plastics free event. Don’t forget to BYO your (clean) containers and cups. Vendors supply food and drink using bio-plastic and cardboard packaging, which can all go straight into on-site composting bins.  The market is held on the third Sunday of every month at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park. Stay up to date with event announcements by following SVM on Instagram. If you want to find out more about Sydney Vegan Market, check out our Time Out Future Shapers profile on the markets' form
