Sensory Hour:

This season, we’re introducing a sensory hour at the Sydney Design Market happening on the morning of Sunday 5th of May from 9am to 10am. We’ll create a calm atmosphere with reduced sensory stimulation, including dimmed lights, low or no music, and a dedicated quiet space. Patron capacity will be limited to enhance spaciousness. Tickets for sensory hour are available for pre-purchase here, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

Indigenous Program:

This season we welcome 10-year-old Wiradjuri and Palawa change-maker Penny Towney, aka Towney Time on YouTube, with her film content, art, handmade jewellery, and some special limited edition collaborations with other Indigenous designers and makers. Penny pictured centre with her cousins Chanaciya and Corleigha.
