The region’s foremost craft, art, treasures and collectables market takes place under the trees every Saturday morning at Essenwood Park which is a stone’s throw away from Musgrave Centre.

Essenwood Craft Market is gearing itself up for the festive season with an array of stalls offering festive season stocking fillers, special gift ideas, tree decorations and party favours – as well as all the usual stalls with everything from pet accessories to milk-tarts; dolls clothes to bonsais and sunfrocks to cut-glass. Some of the most glittering jewellery stands offer a magpie’s nest of costume jewellery.

In-between shopping, there is a comprehensive tea garden with an array of brunch and tea time delights, as well as children’s activities and a playground.

Be sure to visit the ArtStand which is a one-stop arts, leisure, theatre, gallery and event info stand. Essenwood Craft Market is open every Saturday from 09h00 to 14h00.
