Paddington Markets, Sydney Overview
Paddington Markets is a weekly outdoor market held every Saturday in the grounds of the heritage-listed Paddington Uniting Church on Oxford Street, Sydney. Running since 1973, it hosts more than 150 stalls of local designers, artists, jewellers and craftspeople, alongside a Saturday growers market for fresh produce and baked goods. The market operates rain or shine from 10am to 4pm, with the growers market starting at 9am. It's a long-running fixture for handmade fashion, art and gifts in the eastern suburbs.
Set on the grounds of the sandstone Paddington Uniting Church, Paddington Markets has operated as a not-for-profit artisan market every Saturday since 1973, making it one of Sydney's longest-running community markets. Its 150-plus stalls showcase independent fashion designers, jewellers, ceramicists, soap and candle makers, and visual artists, many selling work they've made themselves. A separate growers market opens earlier at 9am for fresh produce and baked goods. Located at 395 Oxford Street, Paddington, it sits within easy walking distance of the suburb's boutiques and cafes, drawing both locals doing their weekend shopping and visitors after original, handcrafted souvenirs.
