Following the success of the previous four Christmas Markets, this year’s market offers Sydneysiders the opportunity to buy fresh produce and specialty food items directly from the from the farmers, chefs and artisan producers who grow, rear or prepare it. Highlights include the freshest of meats, seafood, cheeses, fruit, vegetables, flowers, baked goods and festive treats.
Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, the market will be ticketed, and guests will be required to pre-register for a one-hour shopping window with registrations opening on Tuesday 1 December.
