Don’t forget this month is your last chance to catch the popular Portobello Road theme event for 2014. It’s the best day to browse a great range of collectables and small antiques all in one Canberra location. This is the third and final Portobello Road event for the year and we promise you a great range of interesting treasures to trawl through.
We’re always talking to regular stallholders. We’ve got to know many of them personally over the years and know that for many of our creative souls, the markets have become a major part of their lives, a creative way of life, and quite sustainable too.
We love Spring. And whilst we’re still in the middle of winter, we love looking forward to the seasons turning, the arrival of spring and a chance to take a look at a better way of living. A green way of living. This is the theme of our September theme event, Green Savvy Sunday.
What do a holiday in France, teaching dressmaking at CIT and Fashfest all have in common? They’ve been keeping designer Barbara Mickelson very busy for the past few years. And now this creative woman is back at the markets, bringing with her some truly exquisite creations.

Not literally of course! But bring ‘em to the markets on the 15th of this month for our special Kids in the Shed theme day.
