Handmade in the Hunter Markets

Handmade in the Hunter Markets brings a country-market feel to Newcastle, with a focus on locally made goods and the people who create them. The market is designed to showcase a broad mix of makers and creators, with stallholders offering distinct products rather than rows of identical goods. It is a useful stop for browsing handcrafted items, finding a gift or choosing something for yourself.

Food and drinks are part of the visit, with a food van and coffee van on site. Some stallholders also offer treats for people and pets, adding a little variety beyond the market stalls. Payments are straightforward, as stallholders have access to EFTPOS, while cash is also accepted.

The market welcomes dogs provided they are kept on a lead, so it can suit visitors bringing a four-legged family member along. It is also a flexible option for solo browsing, catching up with friends or taking the family out for a relaxed look around. For anyone interested in getting closer to local makers—or considering becoming a stallholder—the organisers invite both visitors and prospective stallholders to get in touch with questions.
