the {christmas} market - this Saturday + Sunday!

Fancy that, Christmas is upon us, and all the fun of the silly season along with it!

A time of relaxing festivity and loveliness for those organised types among us, but if you are like the masses and haven’t quite mastered the Christmas shopping in November thing...don’t panic....write yourself a list of who’s been naughty and nice, and come along this weekend to the best one stop Christmas shopping destination you will find (and one that you will actually enjoy!)

Our Christmas event is full of the most gorgeous gifts, the most beautiful cards and wrap, the sweetest little stocking fillers, and best of all, it’s all created by an exceptionally talented and most importantly local collection of artists, designers and makers....Christmas Spirit anyone?

We have hunted high and low and even in between to ensure that we have you covered in true the market style this Christmas. We like to think we have the perfect presents for everyone, even those tricky to buy for people! Think candles, tea, jams, jewels, vases, decorations, kitchen wares, clothing, soaps, cushions, toys, artworks, linen, stationery and last but not least, delicious coffee and macarons to keep you feeling festive and relaxed while you shop. Do be sure to pop on over to our blog/facebook to peruse the stellar selection of stalls on offer, and remember being a two day event, we have a fresh batch of designers arriving each day!

We look forward to seeing you all at our Christmas event, and hope you will join us in celebrating the season, and the super exciting art and design scene in our state hurrah!

Merry Christmas,
Shannon + Holly :0)
