Paddington Markets
Rain or shine, this expansive outdoor Saturday market has something for everyone
Rain or shine, Paddington Markets, not to be confused with Paddy's Market, has something for everyone ranging from handcrafted jewellery to trendy fashions, unique artwork and food. This longstanding outdoor marketplace is open every Saturday starting at 10am where vendors have been plying their wares from up to 250 stalls since the early 1970s.
Located on the grounds of the historic United Church on Oxford Street in Paddington, this lively market place bustles with activity. You can browse through 1000s of unique Australian made items that you won't see in the shopping malls while buskers entertain the crowd with their live music. Merchandise includes trendy fashions, jewellery, artwork, perfumes, hand made pottery, books, flowers, food, all kinds of knick-knacks and more.
You will find plenty of choices for eating at the Market with the option of sitting outside or in.
Nearby attractions: Sydney Football Stadium and Centennial Park.

Love this area, the markets on Saturday are really cute, you can find food, clothes, art, jewellery. Also nearby shops area worth having a look at.

I visited this market 10 years ago, and today marked my third visit. Unfortunately, it hasn’t changed much and feels like just another market you can find anywhere in Sydney. These days, markets don’t seem to offer much in the way of new or unique experiences. This one is no exception, with most stalls selling jewelry, clothing, and similar items. It’s a nice place to visit if you’re a tourist or if the weather is great, but it doesn’t feel special enough to be worth visiting every week.

We went to Bondi and The Rocks markets and this was by far the BEST! Lots of stalls, be it food or crafts/ local artists. If you have time for one market, I would recommend this.

A vibrant market with a good variety of stalls from clothing to fresh produce and easy to get around. Many places to eat. Restrooms are available and wheelchair accessible.

I visited Sydney 1st time for a week and I dedicated my Saturday for this market. However, the market wasn’t big as I expected and things were really expensive. It was a different experience but I regretted going there instead of doing something more interesting. I’m from Darwin and I find our markets (specially Mindil) here are lot more interesting.
