The Arts Centre Sunday Market

  • August 15, 2007
  • Rated 3 of 5 by lo7la from Elmhurst, Illinois

The Sunday Market at the Art Centre features many homemade and handcrafted products. Starting at street level there are about ten tables including a clairvoyant and a few handcrafted jewellery stalls. There is one man who handcrafts silver jewellery into different Australian animals. I have a lovely kangaroo pendant and some wombat earrings from this man. His products, like many other of the stalls you will find here, are unique and not outrageously priced. Most of the stalls are down at the riverside level. You will find about 3-4 stalls selling photography from around Australia (this count doesn't include the various other stalls selling paintings). A few stalls that have caught my eye are:

1) Magnetic healing stall - selling magnets to ease back pain and increase energy.
2) A jewellery stall selling items made from old computer chips (a bargain at $16 per necklace).
3) Soaps in shapes of cupcakes, donuts and other non-edible creations.
4) The sweet corn booth - $3.50 per ear - yum.
5) The mini-pancake booth - selling mini profiterole shaped pancakes with your choice of sweet toppings. $5 for 19 small pancakes.

This open air market is on every Sunday and most of the stalls have a regular table. Best to go on a sunny day but the part below is covered so you won't get wet if raining. And if you get bored of shopping there are usually street performers on the west end of the market.
Market is open until about 4-5pm.
