Supporting Australian Made at Handmade Canberra EPIC Markets

There is nothing better than hearing the chatter of people as they move through the 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 the Handmade Market 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.

With Easter just two weeks after the market, it’s the perfect time to get prepared with chocolates, cookies, and hot cross buns, as well as Easter gifts and cards. Below are just a few of the very talented makers we are welcoming for our Handmade Market on the 21-22 March 2026, our first market of 2025. View the full market lineup of stallholders attending the market to start getting your shopping list ready.
