Hello Sydney! We’re back at Carriageworks from 2–4 May 2025 for a huge weekend of creativity, community and connection at The Finders Keepers Sydney Design Market!
Just in time for Mother’s Day, come along and explore 200+ stallholders featuring Australia’s most exciting designers, makers and artists. From one-of-a-kind ceramics to slow fashion, statement jewellery, original art and so much more, there’s something special for everyone.
This season we’re spreading out across an expanded market floor, with local food and drinks, DJs spinning all weekend, and all the good vibes you know and love. We kick things off Friday 4pm–9pm, then continue the fun Saturday and Sunday 10am–5pm. Grab your pals and make a day of it, tickets are on sale now!
Shopping Highlights:
Here’s a sneak peek of product highlights from our talented stallholders! Discover intricately carved jewellery, hand-built ceramics, slow fashion, and vibrant art prints.

Food & Drink Lineup:
Hungry for more? Explore 30+ food and drink stalls offering fresh eats, sweet treats, and take-home goodies. Start your day with a coffee from Supreme, then treat yourself to sweets from Miss Sina or Sonoma Bakery. Sip on local brews from Yulli’s, margaritas by Azteca, or refreshing non-alcoholic options from Hello Lemonade. Enjoy a variety of meals, from Okonomiyaki and pasta to gourmet toasties and Mexican street food. Check out the lineup here!
NEW Dining Room:
Our market is expanding to take over a whole second room! With even more designers on the lineup, visit our new Dining Room to cure those market munchies, enjoy a hot meal, drink from the bar and live music.
Low Sensory Hour:
This year, we’ve added a low sensory hour on Sunday from 9am to 10am. During this time, we’ll reduce lights, lower or turn off music, and limit capacity for a calmer shopping experience. Those already inside can continue shopping after 10am when we open to the public. Learn more and get tickets here.

Indigenous Program:
We’re really chuffed to welcome APY Gallery as our AW25 Sydney Indigenous Program recipient! They will have a unique popup gallery-style stall at the market, just as they are between gallery spaces in Sydney! Come and check them out and support a community of First Nations artists.
Mindfulness Mural
