Once a year, the iconic Carriageworks in Eveleigh—one of Sydney’s most vibrant cultural hubs—transforms into a lively celebration of design, craftsmanship, and innovation: The Big Design Market – Sydney. Far more than a retail event, this renowned public and trade fair is a design festival with a distinct character. Organized by an experienced team of Australian creatives, it shines a spotlight on independent designers, ethical labels, and innovative makers from Australia and around the world.
With a carefully curated selection, the market showcases original, handcrafted, and sustainably produced goods. The range includes contemporary jewellery made from recycled materials, intricately designed ceramics, sustainable textiles and fashion, as well as stationery, homewares, children’s items, and tech gadgets—all far removed from mass production, defined instead by quality, origin, and integrity.
At the heart of the event are not only the high-quality products, but also the people and stories behind them. Visitors have the chance to meet the creators—designers, artists, and artisans who work with passion, authenticity, and meticulous attention to detail. The Big Design Market serves as a platform for Australia’s creative scene—a place where the local maker community becomes visible and where meaningful encounters between the public and exhibitors take place.
The event itself offers a memorable experience: spacious, weatherproof indoor areas and a dedicated children’s zone with free activities make it family-friendly. A premium food offering featuring local street food, specialty coffee, and handmade sweets provides culinary variety well beyond the ordinary.
The entire concept reflects strong values such as sustainability, quality, and ethical production. Zero-waste practices, fair wages, durable materials, and conscious consumption are embedded in every aspect of the event.
The Big Design Market – Sydney is not just a market, but a statement for independent design, a stage for creative excellence, and a gathering place for all those who seek the unique—in the heart of Sydney, at one of Australia’s most inspiring venues.
The The Big Design Market will take place on 3 days from Friday, 18. September to Sunday, 20. September 2026 in Sydney.
