Sunday, 4th April “ Portobello Road ”

For Easter Sunday the focus has been on Antiques and Collectables for a number of years now, and visitors come to browse the aisles of eclectic and interesting treasures. There will always be retro decorative art, antique jewellery, quirky collectables, china and art glass, linens and lace, silver, and restored pieces. The fun is in the search and there will be plenty to choose from.

Sunday, 16th May “ A Celebration of Wool ”

“A Celebration of Wool” is in its fifteenth year at the Old Bus Depot Markets –a spectacular event. Canberra is in the middle of a wool growing area, and to see what artists and business people with big ideas do with wool is fascinating. Craftspeople who work with wool come from NSW, Victoria, and South Australia to participate in this showcase of top quality Australian made wool products, many made on their own properties. Products of the finest quality are featured including handfelted garments and accessories; designer knitwear; millinery; weavings; funky beanies; and farm label knitwear. The fantastic range of specialist yarns are always a huge drawcard for knitters and include hand carded, and hand dyed yarns, natural yarns and Wensleydale yarns. Regional Guilds provide demonstrations of hand spinning, hand felting, and other traditional wool based crafts.
