Mosman Market

Priority is given to home-produced, hand-crafted and artisan goods, particularly those designed or made locally. We welcome original, high-quality, handcrafted products across art, craft, fashion, jewellery, homewares, as well as specialty food products.

Hot food and ready-to-eat food stalls are also welcome, offering a variety of high-quality, freshly prepared food that enhances the market experience for visitors.

All stall applications are curated to ensure a balanced and engaging market experience for visitors, while supporting a positive and successful trading environment for stallholders.
