Hope Street Markets


Next weekend is the Hope Street Markets at Paddington Town Hall, Sydney. This market will be showcasing 60 new Australian independent designers and is a lot of fun.

The designers bring together work varying from art, jewellery, clothing, accessories and a great mix of product design. This is a mixed collaboration of the quirky, kitsch, clever and the crafty - all under one roof!

There will be a great line-up of local music hosted by Pop Frenzy over the weekend. There is also a great cafe there too!

About:
The Hope Street Markets were created from a love of independent, unique and different and the genuine love of finding new treasures at the markets. These days it is hard to find good local made and designed product, our aim is simply to introduce fresh, creative and original designs each season. We are proud to be supporting and exposing the work of designers both local and around Australia.

The markets are a fusion of art, design, music and a community of people connecting in one space.

Hope Street is a not an actual street address, it quite simply means “bringing hope to the street” the name was adopted from the cause we support... HopeStreet.

Hope Street Markets in a non-profit organisation. We raise funds from the markets to help support HopeStreet projects helping bring hope to Sydney’s homeless. The name was also given to the markets because we feel in essence we are also creating hope for new talent and inspiring others.

Autumn Markets:
Saturday 17th May 11am – 6pm
Sunday 18th May 11am – 5pm
