Canberra’s new Night Market launches just in time for Christmas

Posted on

Night marketsA brand new outdoor night market will light up the night sky in Barton next month when the inaugural Night Market Canberra takes place right in time for Christmas! Boasting pop-up shops, live entertainment, a licensed bar and tasty street eats, the capital’s first ever night market will focus on fashion and homewares, and showcase local and carefully curated selection of quality items.

Market-lovers can potter through stalls overflowing with everything from fashion, jewellery, bags and accessories, to furniture, objects d’art, homewares and lifestyle products sourced from local and interstate designers.

Held in Burbury Close among the leafy surrounds of Realm Park (Hotel Realm Precinct), the market is walking distance from Manuka and Kingston.

With live-music and market stalls filling the courtyard adorned with fairy lights, why not sweep up a picnic of food from the street eats pop-ups catered by the award winning restaurants within the Realm Precinct. You can be assured that everyone’s tastes will be catered to.

Oh and if you’re familiar with the Precinct area, you’d also know of Maple + Clove, (the one that overlooks the courtyard). Well, it’s set to be the licensed bar for the Night Market too!

Whether doing some Christmas shopping, catching up with colleagues or friends, or having a night out with the family, this will be a fun filled event alive with a festive atmosphere under the stars.

Night Market Canberra is the brainchild of two local women, Natalie Weber and Marisa Christian, when they noticed a gap in the Canberra market scene.

“It’s not your typical second-hand or craft-wares market,” says Natalie.

“We wanted to provide Canberrans with a one stop shop of high-end, exclusive fashion, homewares and lifestyle pieces that aren’t readily available in Canberra stores, and we believe that the market setting is the perfect way to deliver that opportunity.”

“Unlike many other markets, the exclusive assortment of stallholders has been hand-picked and invited to participate in the event. Local and interstate designers will showcase a wide range of products.” she adds.

CZMK

CZMK is the first of the successful Night Market Canberra applicants to be announced as a successful stallholder at the inaugural market next month.

But if shopping is not your bag, then Night Market Canberra promises to deliver something more.

“We want this to be a fun night out in its own right, a place to stop as well as a place to shop. Think of it as a Sydney or Melbourne arcade under the Canberrasummer sky,” Marisa says.

“It will be a feast for the senses – shopping, cocktails, tapas and live entertainment, within the leafy surrounds of Realm Park. You will not want to be anywhere else!”

Equally excited about the event is Hotel Realm who are looking forward to becoming the home of what they hope will be a regular event on the Canberra market scene.

“We are excited to be working with Night Market Canberra to deliver an event unlike any other in Canberra,” says Patrick Longeran, Director of Hotels.

“It will really provide Canberrans with the opportunity to explore all of the offerings within the Realm Precinct, as well as shop for some unique products, and in many cases meet the designers.”

So what are you waiting for? Save those pennies and pop this one into the calendar. There’s only 31 sleeps to go!
