ABOUT THE EVENT:

The Finders Keepers Food Market is more than just a shopping experience; it’s a celebration of mindful making and thoughtful buying. It’s about connecting with the local food community, supporting small businesses, and discovering products that are crafted with care. You'll leave with more than just a bag full of goodies, heading home with a sense of connection to the people who made them.

Every bite and sip has a story, from hot sauce to kombucha, cookies and locally brewed beer, all created by the 50+ local, independent creators.

Curated Selection of Stalls: 
Expect to find diverse products, from gourmet treats to everyday essentials. Our stallholders have been carefully selected from The Finders Keepers’ community of mindful makers.

Meet the Makers:
This market celebrates the makers behind the products. You'll have the chance to chat directly with the creators and learn about their process, sourcing, and passion for their craft.

Exclusive Market Menu:
Indulge in a curated menu of snacks and drinks, crafted by and with ingredients from our stallholders. It’s a unique way to experience the flavours of the market in real time.
