The culinary adventures you can take on a day at Handmade are some of the things that make market days so special. Start your day with a coffee or fresh juice as you browse the market stalls. When you’re ready for lunch, choose from pizza and foccacia, dumplings, a falafel sandwich, or maybe a baked potato.
Then, we don’t know about you, but at Handmade we believe no market day is complete without a sweet treat.
Step into the Coorong Pavilion where our foodies have got you covered with a delightful array of confections, handmade by skilled makers from Canberra and beyond. Whether it’s crunchy churros with rich chocolate sauce, a sweet and cream-filled cannoli, a cup of handcrafted gelato, or a fruit crumble covered in vanilla custard, there’s a sweet treat to make everyone’s day.
Here is a small selection of the dessert makers you’ll find at Handmade.
