Parramatta North Female Artisan Markets. Saturday 3 June. Fleet Street, Parramatta North. 8am to 1pm. 

Enjoy a thoughtfully curated showcase of fine goods and crafts, produced by talented local female artisans, artists and crafters, at the Female Artisan Markets, in Parramatta North on Saturday 3 June and Saturday 17 June. A celebration of arts and culture from Western Sydney and surrounding areas, visiting the markets is also a wonderful opportunity to learn about Parramatta North’s transformation over the years and acknowledge the precincts past.

Once you’ve picked up some unique arts and crafts, there is more to explore in Parramatta North. A great option is to wrap your market experience around breakfast or lunch from Havenstone café while listening to the sweet sounds of acoustic performer Kat Luxford. There’s also plenty to keep the kids entertained with old fashioned games and facilitated craft activities. Next, explore the history in your own time with a visit to the interactive historical touchscreen exhibit in the Western Sydney Startup Hub, or take a self-guided tour of Parramatta North’s iconic heritage-listed buildings.

The Female Artisan Markets are inclusive and pet friendly. The markets will be held at 5 Fleet Street, North Parramatta from 8am to 1pm on Saturday 3 June and Saturday 17 June 2023.
