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.

Came here to compliment the food. If you are gluten free, must try a Hopper from Just Hopper stall. Husband decided to try something new and came back with a warm, aromatic and exciting Sri Lankan dish we’ve never had before. We learned a “Hopper” is a bowl-shaped pancakes, with egg and vegetable options), kottu roti (chopped roti mixed with meat or vegetables), and various curries like butter chicken and vegetable korma. Egg was hard cooked so it made for a relatively firm contrast to the flavorful chicken curry and dal combo (sorry if I’m using the wrong term for the vegetarian lentil). SO GOOD.
We also got the Roman style pizza and that was fantastic too: light, crunchy and toppings tasted good (which is to say they were not just junky sausages and foam meatball). The sausage potato was so light and the ragu pizza was just right!
Tip: Bring cash to support the produce farmers in keeping our prices down!
Bustling market with lots of different, more curated assortment of offerings which made for more engaged browsing.

My second time to this Paddy Market. I woll suggest you put aside 1 hour to enjoy browsing the shops.
You can get fresh fruits and vegetables at the market segment.
Do visit the Market City shopping centre for some more shopping.
