New: 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.
During this time, the ambience will be carefully adjusted to accommodate individuals who may benefit from reduced sensory stimulation. We'll be limiting lights onsite, keeping music volume low or off, providing a dedicated quiet space if needed (this is available all weekend too), and restricting patron capacity to a quarter to allow shoppers more space.
Before we open the doors to the general public at 10am, an announcement will be made, and those inside will be able to remain in the venue and continue shopping if they wish. Tickets for sensory hour are available for pre-purchase here, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
Sign up and WIN at the market!
Sign up at the market to WIN one of three NEW Finders Keepers gift boxes! We've teamed up with Madebox to create bespoke gift boxes with a range of our stallholders' thoughtfully-made products.
Can't wait to win? The Finders Keepers x Madebox gift boxes are available for pre-order now!
Indigenous Program
This season we welcome 10-year-old Wiradjuri and Palawa change-maker Penny Towney, aka Towney Time (check out Penny's YouTube channel!), with her film content, art, handmade jewellery, and some special limited edition collaborations with other Indigenous designers and makers.
Mindfulness Mural
Slow down and get creative with a special Mindfulness Mural designed by queer Aboriginal artist Wayde Clarke, aka Aléjandro Lauren. Find Aléjandro Lauren's amazing artworks at the market too!
Market Fun
Live sets from local DJs will keep market-goers grooving all weekend as they kick back at the bar and indulge in locally-made food and drinks from more than 30 vendors, including The Finders Keepers neighbourhood partners: Miss Sina (contestant on Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars), Condimental, Yulli's, Sonoma Bakery, Mapo Gelato, P&V wine merchants, and Mecca Coffee.
Visitors of all ages will love delving into interactive craft activities at our new FIND communal artwork station!
