WELCOME Canberra’s biggest market is back this Spring. We receive hundreds of applications from local and national artisans who want to bring their bespoke products to Canberra. We carefully curate until we have 260 stalls of Australian designers and producers with the perfect blend of homewares, fashion, gifts, accessories and food. Then we create the best layout, including our increasingly popular gourmet food hall so shoppers can relax, taste and soak up our unique atmosphere all under one roof. The next market is right at the beginning of Canberra’s outdoor events calendar with Floriade starting on the same weekend, so there’s no better time to plan a break in our exciting Capital. Flowers are blooming, cafés, restaurants and bars are spilling onto the pavements and the sky, as ever, is big and blue. Come and sample all that the city and region have to offer. And if you mention Handmade when booking with our preferred accommodation partner, the Rex Hotel, you will receive 20% off one of their beautiful rooms. The Handmade Market is on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September, from 10am until 4pm at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC). Head over to our website for more details, articles and profiles of our designers and producers. www.handmadecanberra.com.au Within the pages of this magazine, we will be showcasing our stallholders for the September Market and focusing on who’s new. We’ll walk you through the gourmet food hall and give you a taste of our street food. And we’ll be listing all of the designers and producers, so you can start to plan your trip to Handmade. Please enjoy, and we’ll see you at the market.
