Paddington Markets
Sydney
Market
One of Sydney's most celebrated and long-running markets, held every Saturday in the grounds of Paddington's Uniting Church. Over 250 stalls showcase emerging fashion designers, handmade jewellery, art, vintage goods, and street food in a shaded, atmospheric setting. The market has launched many notable Australian designers and continues to be a genuine creative hub. Easy to reach by bus from the CBD. Arrive before 11am for the best experience before crowds peak.

Bus from the CBD — routes 333 or 380 from Circular Quay stop on Oxford Street near the markets. By car, park in the Oxford Street council car park on South Dowling Street.
Best Time to Visit
Every Saturday from 10am. Arrive before 11am for the full range of stalls before the afternoon rush.
Tips
