Supporting Australian Made at Handmade Canberra EPIC Markets

There is nothing better than hearing the chatter of people as they move through the EPIC markets pavilions, the exclamations of delight from customers as they fall in love with a handmade product and, of course, the tantalising aromas emerging from our Gourmet Food Hall – all the things that make our market such a great experience to be a part of!

Every market has fresh new stallholders alongside many returning stallholders who always have new designs on offer, making a visit to the Handmade EPIC markets the place to be to keep up with fresh and emerging design trends. It’s not your ordinary market… think high quality, unique and on trend wares. We pride ourselves on bringing the most talented Australian made makers to Canberra to connect them with customers passionate about supporting Australian made. Entry to the market is free, but we do encourage a gold coin donation to our Charity Door Greeters, Rise Above – Capital Region Cancer Relief.

Below are just a few of the very talented makers we are welcoming to our midst for our March Handmade Market on the 29-30 March 2025. View the full market lineup of stallholders attending the market to start getting your shopping list ready.
