THE ROCKS MARKETS
Make time for experiences and let the day slow down. A true makers’ market, The Rocks Markets brings talented and experienced artisans to the heart of The Rocks every weekend.
Stroll down sandstone steps and up cobblestoned lanes as you discover locally-designed fashion, handcrafted jewellery, textiles, homewares, art, beauty products and photography, plus delicious food to fuel your exploration.
See the skilled hands that make every unique, one-off item. Get that next statement piece direct from the designer who first imagined it, or learn about an artwork from the painter who brought it to life. Find out the full story behind that striking photo print, discover the secret ingredients of the most sumptuous skincare, or uncover the provenance of the most dazzling jewellers’ gems.
It’s a weekend oasis that’s as easy as the breeze, nestled next to the CBD and just footsteps from the ferries and trains of Circular Quay.
FRIDAY FOODIE MARKET
Every Friday the air comes alive with the sights, scents and sounds of street food being served. Fragrant smoke lingers gently in the air, and local produce sizzle to perfection, and sweet treats are lovingly prepared by talented providores.
Crossing cultures and spanning cuisines, the selections are ever-changing – meaning there’s always something different to plate up and dig in. There’s something for everyone and a diversity of choice that proudly reflects Sydney’s rich and varied cultural heritage, winding along the cobblestones of its most historic precinct.
And it’s not just food. Enjoy the tunes of buskers , find flowers by the bunch, and explore one-off artisanal wares like handmade jewellery, original artworks, photography and prints, and unique gifts.
Take in a relaxed breakfast by the water before taking to the harbour, or wander nooks and laneways and unwind on a well-deserved lunchbreak with a difference. Welcome the weekend one day early – whichever way you please.
