The Makers and Shakers Market is coming back to town, just in time for Christmas. Wander through the stalls and discover a curated selection of homewares, sustainable fashion, food and more! On top of the stalls, you’ll also find festive experiences and activities for the kids. Check it out at the Seaworks precinct in Williamstown on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8.
The Makers and Shakers Market
At this bustling market, you’ll find unique items featuring 100 per cent Australian-made goods. Explore 120 independent stallholders and find something to treat yourself, or to gift to a loved one, such as skincare, art, stationary, ceramics and gourmet food and drink. Listen to vinyl DJ sets as you weave your way around the precinct and take in waterfront views.
“When you’re buying something handmade, there’s a person and a story behind it,” said market founder Emma Morris. “We love bringing together so many talented Australian makers in one place, and Seaworks is such a lovely setting to make a day of it. You can find some really special Christmas gifts, enjoy great food and spend time by the water.”
Awkward Portraits will make a return, so you can take some delightfully daggy Christmas photos. For more personalised keepsakes, get your portrait illustrated by artists Eleanora Arosio and Pajama Art.
Feeling hungry? There’s a cracking line-up of traders to look forward to, including hot Italian sandwiches from Rocco’s Bologna Discoteca, baked goods from Cobb Lane and tacos from Taco Truck. Cool down with some ice cream from Billy Van Creamy, and enjoy a sweet treat from Cannoleria.
Younger visitors will have fun decorating and playing among cardboard houses and Christmas trees. Colouring-in and card-making activities are also planned for the market.
