Handmade Illawarra is a market showcasing quality, handmade artisan wares, taking place on Saturday, 10 and Sunday, 11 December 2022 from 9am to 3pm.  

The market will celebrate the diverse creative skills of artists and makers from the Illawarra and surrounds, with over 80 stallholders expected to attend.  

Held in the spacious, air-conditioned Illawarra Sports Stadium, the market will also feature food stalls, drinks and live music, to make for a festive day out.

Filled with a huge range of high-quality handmade goods, and held just two weeks before Christmas, Handmade Illawarra is the perfect place to find that special gift. 

A small entry fee at the door will go straight to our charity partner, Humane Society International Australia, a leading animal welfare and conservation organisation working to save endangered species and their habitats and reduce cruelty in farming, trade and other industries.

We'll also have stalls promoting local native wildlife rescue groups, along with art schools running classes and workshops to help people work towards their own creative goals. 

If you're a local who draws, paints, knits, sculpts, sews, or creates with silver, clay, wood or metals, we'd love you to exhibit your work at Handmade Illawarra.
