‘MUM’S’ THE WORD AT OUR MAY MAKERS MARKET

Sunday 5th May, 10am-3pm, at the Hawthorn Arts Centre.

Corner Burwood and Glenferrie Roads, Hawthorn.

Get ready for a haven of creative activity at ‘The Hawthorn’

With a focus on mum and her special day the following weekend, here’s an opportunity to view hundreds of quality handmade goodies from our talented creators eager to showcase their Mother’s Day inspired unique creations. All locally made. Meet over 50 selected artisans and discover a treasure trove of one-of-a kind, handcrafted gifts. Meet the makers face to face!

Our Market commenced way back in 1979 and is one of Melbourne’s best known makers markets.

Everything is handcrafted. Authentic. Original. One of a kind. Not mass produced. We proudly bring together independent local makers (1st Sunday in the month from March – December) who offer a diverse range of handmade gifts including- Fashion items, Children’s and Baby wear, Art and Crafty things, Hand spun pure Australian Wool Clothes and Accessories, Ceramics, Jewellery, Health & Beauty, Soaps, Candles, Homewares, Needlecrafts, Stationery, Wood carved gifts, Novelty items, Plants, Tasty treats, Barista-made coffee, live music … and more. It’s homemade happiness at the Hawthorn! Plus, we have a staffed kids’ activities area with colouring books, story books, puzzles and more.

And as a Rotary Club of Camberwell organised event in partnership with the City of Boroondara, isn’t it nice to know that you are supporting Rotary’s charitable work in the local and wider community- doing good for others.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday 5th May.
